Abstract excerpt
We have assessed the potential of using the spliced leader (SL) or mini-exon gene as a marker for molecular phylogenetic analysis of genus Trypanosoma. A total of 27 trypanosome sequences were compared, 18 of these being newly reported. In contrast to genus Leishmania, we found the non-transcribed spacer region of the SL locus in trypanosomes to be far too variable for informative comparison of all but the most...
