Abstract excerpt
The ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila is a useful model organism that combines diverse experimental advantages with powerful capabilities for genetic manipulation. The genetics of Tetrahymena are especially rich among eukaryotic cells, because it possesses two distinct but related nuclear genomes within one cytoplasm, contained separately in the micronucleus (MIC) and the macronucleus (MAC). In an effort to advance...
