Transcriptome analysis during the process of in vitro differentiation of Leishmania donovani using genomic microarrays.

abstract：:We have studied the genomic organization and transcription of the histone H2A genes in the protozoan parasite Leishmania infantum. In the parasite genome 2 gene clusters exist, each containing 3 H2A gene copies. Sequence analyses showed the existence of significant sequence divergence among the H2A genes, mainly in th...
