Abstract excerpt
In members of the Trypanosomatidae family of parasitic protozoa, the mini-exon (MX) genes encode the mini-exon donor RNA (medRNA) that contributes a small, 39-nt exon to all pre-mRNAs during mRNA maturation. Previously we have shown that a single copy of a MX gene can be expressed continuously from a stable episome transfected into the monogenetic trypanosomatid Leptomonas seymouri. We now identify components of...
