Background The evolutionarily ancient parasite, Trypanosoma brucei, is unusual in that the
majority of its genes are regulated post-transcriptionally, leading to the suggestion that …

Background Trypanosomes mostly control gene expression by post-transcriptional events
such as modulation of mRNA stability and translational efficiency. These mechanisms …

Background RNA degradation is critical to the survival of all cells. With increasing evidence
for pervasive transcription in cells, RNA degradation has gained recognition as a means of …

Regulation of gene expression in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is tightly
controlled and little is known about the many steps involved. One step ie translation initiation …

Host cell and virus gene expression were measured five days after per os inoculation of 3rd
instar lightbrown apple moth (LBAM) larvae with the Epiphyas postvittana …

Background Colorectal cancer mortality is growing in Latin America. It is known for a marked
income disparity between its countries, and there is a consistent association with …

The addition of a capped mini-exon [spliced leader (SL)] through trans-splicing is essential
for the maturation of RNA polymerase (pol) II-transcribed polycistronic pre-mRNAs in all …

Gene expression in Trypanosoma brucei lacks regulatory mechanisms at the level of RNA
polymerase II transcription. The initiation step of translation is therefore a critical point for …

Trypanosoma cruzi es el parásito protozoario causante de la enfermedad de Chagas, una
enfermedad endémica en Panamá. En este parásito, el proceso de regulación de la …

Since in trypanosomes most protein-coding genes are constitutively transcribed by RNA
polymerase II in a polycistronic manner, gene expression is mainly regulated at the post …
