Abstract excerpt

The chromosomes of the human protozoan parasite Leishmania exhibit striking size polymorphisms among different strains. To define the structural basis for these variations, we have constructed full-length restriction maps of five chromosomes of 370 to 490 kb in Leishmania infantum clone LEM1317....
