Leish-ESP

'Leishmania Expression and Sequencing Projects'

About us

    Our laboratory focuses on the molecular genetics of parasites of the genus Leishmania, causative agents of leishmaniasis. In the last years, we have incorporated next generation sequencing techniques for addressing issues of gene expression and genomic plasticity in this protist. This WEB server was created as a means to sharing the data that we are generating with people having interests for these topics. We are working at the Centro de Biologia Molecular Severo Ochoa (CSIC-UAM), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain).
