Gene Loss and Error-Prone RNA Editing in the Mitochondrion of <italic toggle="yes">Perkinsela</italic>, an Endosymbiotic Kinetoplastid

ABSTRACT Perkinsela is an enigmatic early-branching kinetoplastid protist that lives as an obligate endosymbiont inside Paramoeba (Amoebozoa). We have sequenced the highly reduced mitochondrial genome of Perkinsela, which possesses only six protein-coding genes (cox1, cox2, cox3, cob, atp6, and rps1...
