The putative Leishmania telomerase RNA (LeishTER) undergoes trans-splicing and contains a conserved template sequence.

Telomerase RNAs (TERs) are highly divergent between species, varying in size and sequence composition. Here, we identify a candidate for the telomerase RNA component of Leishmania genus, which includes species that cause leishmaniasis, a neglected tropical disease. Merging a thorough computational s...
