Abstract excerpt
We have used polymerase chain reaction to amplify the mini-exon gene repeat from 18 Leishmania strains. DNA sequence analysis of the cloned products reveals high conservation of both the exon and intron (i.e. transcribed region). In contrast, variation is evident in both the length and primary sequence of the non-transcribed spacers. Dermotropic species of the New World subgenus Leishmania possess a 0.3-kb gene...
