Compared genomics of the strand switch region of <it>Leishmania </it>chromosome 1 reveal a novel genus-specific gene and conserved structural features and sequence motifs

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Trypanosomatids exhibit a unique gene organization into large directional gene clusters (DGCs) in opposite directions. The transcription "strand switch region" (SSR) separating the two large DGCs that constitute chromosome...
