RNA editing: new insights into the storage and expression of genetic information

Abstract

Kinetoplastid flagellates, and possibly other parasites and viruses, have evolved a novel form of gene regulation at different phases of their life cycle by 'editing' their own RNA transcripts. This article discusses the significance of the process and proposes a hypothesis to explain how it may be done.
