For most organisms, including humans, the whole process of protein synthesis remains remarkably faithful to the original instructions laid out in the DNA. However, unicellular flagellates of the order Kinetoplastida such as trypanosomes developed a highly complex molecular system within their mitochondrion whereby mRNA transcripts are extensively processed. While recent breakthroughs in nuclear genomics have significantly increased our knowledge ...
