The paper identifies stop codon readthrough in Trichomonas as a mechanism for generating longer mRNAs with multiple protein-coding genes, expanding protein function and gene expression diversity.

This study compares the genomics of seven Trichomonas species, revealing convergent genome size expansions in human-infecting lineages and genes involved in host-switching from birds to humans.

The paper identifies 63 active and 34 putative inactive introns in Trichomonas vaginalis using a new assembly and pipeline, and compares them to its close relative Trichomonas stableri.
