Trans-Splicing in Trypanosomes: Machinery and Its Impact on the Parasite Transcriptome

S Michaeli - Future microbiology, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
In trypanosomes, all RNAs are processed by the concerted action of trans-splicing and
polyadenylation. In trans-splicing, a common spliced leader (SL) is donated to all mRNAs …
