Published: August 2018

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.
