The paper investigates the role of Argonaute in controlling viral replication in Leishmania martiniquensis, finding that its loss reduces viral RNA abundance and disrupts small RNA accumulation.

sRNAMap is a browser-based tool for analyzing and visualizing small RNA sequencing data, offering alignment, coverage, and feature quantification with high concordance to existing methods.

This study identifies Dicer-like 1 and Argonaute 1 as critical for controlling viral RNA levels in Leishmania guyanensis via a canonical RNA interference pathway.
