An assembly of nuclear bodies associates with the active VSG expression site in African trypanosomes

A Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) coat protects bloodstream form T. brucei. Applying super-resolution microscopy Budzak et al. characterize a set of nuclear bodies, which associate with the active expression site in bloodstream form T. brucei and highlight the importance of trans-splicing for tra...
