Comprehensive mRNA annotation in trypanosomatid parasites

2026-02-25

Abstract excerpt

Trypanosomatid parasites, including human infective Leishmania and Trypanosoma species, have an unusual genome organisation and transcription. They are unicellular eukaryotes, but unlike most eukaryotes, which have individual promoters per gene, most protein coding genes are co-transcribed in long gene arrays. This nascent transcript is processed into individual mRNAs by trans-splicing and polyadenylation. Accur...
