Alignment of the sequences corresponding to the putative bidirectional transcription initiation site among the 15 Leishmania species analysed. Alignment of the sequences corresponding to the putative bidirectional transcription initiation site [14] among the 15 Leishmania species analysed. This shows the presence of a unique and conserved poly(C) in all species studied here. Cytidines are shown underlined. Asterisks indicate the nucleotides conserved in all species. The first four letters of each line indicate the species name (see Table 1).
