Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial genome of kinetoplastids, organized in a unique DNA net called the kinetoplast, presents significant complexity compared to other eukaryotic mitochondrial genomes. Minicircles, which constitute over 90% of the kinetoplast mass, are essential for the post-transcriptional editing of maxicircle transcripts. This study focuses on Trypanosoma lainsoni, a trypanosomatid first discovered in northern...
