Table 2. Alignment of highly conserved splice leader sequences (bases 1–40 of mini-exon gene) of H. muscarum and other species from the Leishmaniiae clade.
The variable AT-rich region (positions 11–19, bold) is shown by genus. Herpetomonas sp. appear to have an additional A or T residue, dependant on species at position 11.
