title: Trypanosomatids: mitochondrial RNA editing.
abstract: RNA editing is a genetic regulatory process that was recently discovered in the mitochondrion of trypanosomatid parasites. It alters mRNA by the addition and deletion of uridines. Much remains to be learned about this process, including identification and characterization of the macromolecules that catalyze and regulate this process and the mechanism of editing.
