Comparative genomics and concerted evolution of beta-tubulin paralogs in Leishmania spp.

BACKGROUND: Tubulin isotypes and expression patterns are highly regulated in diverse organisms. The genome sequence of the protozoan parasite Leishmania major contains three distinct beta-tubulin loci. To investigate the diversity of beta-tubulin genes, we have compared the published genome sequenc...
