A diversified and segregated mRNA spliced-leader system in the parasitic Perkinsozoa
Spliced-leader trans-splicing (SLTS) has been described in distantly related eukaryotes and acts to mark mRNAs with a short 5′ exon, giving different mRNAs identical 5′ sequence-signatures. The function of these systems is obscure. Perkinsozoa encompasses a diversity of parasitic protists that infec...
