Diplonemids are a group of flagellate protists, that belong to the phylum Euglenozoa alongside
euglenids, symbiontids and kinetoplastids. They primarily inhabit marine environments, …

Cognate tRNAs deliver specific amino acids to translating ribosomes according to the
standard genetic code, and three codons with no cognate tRNAs serve as stop codons. Some …

A limited number of non-canonical genetic codes have been described in eukaryotic nuclear
genomes. Most involve reassignment of one or two termination codons as sense ones [1–4]…

Many high-quality genomes are available for dixenous (two hosts) trypanosomatid species
of the genera Trypanosoma, Leishmania, and Phytomonas, but only fragmentary information …

Euglena spp. are phototrophic flagellates with considerable ecological presence and impact.
Euglena gracilis harbours secondary green plastids, but an incompletely characterised …

The diverse GTPases of the dynamin superfamily play various roles in the cell, as
exemplified by the dynamin-related proteins (DRPs) Mgm1 and Opa1, which remodel the …

Background The phylum Euglenozoa is a group of flagellated protists comprising the diplonemids,
euglenids, symbiontids, and kinetoplastids. The diplonemids are highly abundant and …

Blastocystis is the most prevalent microbial eukaryote in the human and animal gut, yet its
role as commensal or parasite is still under debate. Blastocystis has clearly undergone …

Background Trypanosomatids are parasitic flagellates well known because of some
representatives infecting humans, domestic animals, and cultural plants. Many trypanosomatid …

Diplonemids are highly abundant heterotrophic marine protists. Previous studies showed
that their strikingly bloated mitochondrial genome is unique because of systematic gene …
