Analysis of the IGS rRNA Region and Applicability for Leishmania (V.) braziliensis Characterization

Figure 1

Forming subunits of the Leishmania spp. ribosomal RNA. Repeating unit of an RNA locus, showing the 18S (orange), 5.8S (green), and 28S (blue) regions. In the intergenic space (IGS) between the repetition units, there is an element of repetition called IGSRE. It is estimated that the IGS region size is between 2 and 3 kb.
