Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny of trypanosomes as inferred from the small and large subunit rRNAs: implications for the evolution of parasitism in the trypanosomatid protozoa
TL;DR: The results provide no evidence for co-evolution of trypanosomatids and their hosts, either vertebrate or invertebrate, which suggests that evolution of try panosom atids was accompanied by secondary acquisitions of hosts and habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity and phylogeny of insect trypanosomatids: all that is hidden shall be revealed.
TL;DR: A phylogenetic approach has been applied to taxa recognition and description, and a culture-independent (PCR-based) approach for detection and identification of organisms in nature has made it feasible to study the diversity of the trypanosomatid group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of RNA editing in trypanosome mitochondria
TL;DR: Two different RNA editing systems have been described in the kinetoplast-mitochondrion of trypanosomatid protists and the possible evolutionary relationship of the C to U and U-insertion editing systems is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The polarity of editing within a multiple gRNA-mediated domain is due to formation of anchors for upstream gRNAs by downstream editing
Dmitri A. Maslov,Larry Simpson +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a role of G-U base pairs is to allow breathing of the edited mRNA-gRNA hybrid and formation of the upstream anchor hybrid, thereby explaining the observed 3' to 5' polarity of editing within an editing domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of RNA editing in kinetoplastid protozoa.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the ancestral cryptogenes were pan-edited, and it is hypothesize that the 5'-edited homologues were generated by several independent events from partially edited RNAs, in which case editing may be a more primitive mechanism than previously thought.
