Translation and RNA decay, two processes in which all mRNAs are engaged, are intimately related processes. Two new studies demonstrate that, in trypanosomatids, codon usage largely shapes mRNA abundance in a translation-dependent manner. The findings indicate that mRNA decay control by codon choice is an ancient and conserved mechanism.
