Remembrance of things past retrieved from the Paramecium genome.

Research in microbiology - 1 Jan 2000

Sperling Linda

Abstract excerpt

Paramecium and other ciliates are the only unicellular eukaryotes that separate germinal and somatic functions. A germline micronucleus transmits the genetic information to sexual progeny, while a somatic macronucleus expresses the genetic information during vegetative growth to determine the phenotype. At each sexual generation, a new macronucleus develops from the zygotic nucleus through programmed...
