Abstract excerpt
In Paramecium tetraurelia, stock 51, the A surface protein is coded by the wild type A51 gene, present in micronuclei in two copies and in macronuclei in about 1500 copies. DNA processing, comprised of DNA cleavage, copy number amplification and telomere addition occurs at autogamy and conjugatio...
