Leishmania Marjor Articles

The Genome of the Kinetoplastid Parasite, Leishmania major (Reference Genome)

This article was found via the PubMed database and the key terms used were "Leishmania Major [MeSH Terms] AND Genome [Title]"

This search resulted in 30 articles, about 5 seemed relevant but this one was the first which had the entire genome

Citation for paper:
