Abstract excerpt
The spliced leader RNA gene (SL RNA) repeat is present in large multicopy arrays and has been used as a marker for the diversity of kinetoplastid protozoans. Intra-array variation could affect conclusions made using a randomly isolated repeat as a marker. We examined the Leishmania major (Friedlin) and Trypanosoma cruzi (CL Brener) genome projects for SL RNA repeat sequences in order to assess their homogeneity...
