Actin evolution in ciliates (Protist, Alveolata) is characterized by high diversity and three duplication events.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Mar 2016

Yi Zhenzhen, Huang Lijuan, Yang Ran, Lin Xiaofeng, Song Weibo

Abstract excerpt

Ciliates possess two distinct nuclear genomes and unique genomic features, including highly fragmented chromosomes and extensive chromosomal rearrangements. Recent transcriptomic surveys have revealed that ciliates have several multi-copy genes providing an ideal template to study gene family evolution. Nonetheless, this process remains little studied in ciliated protozoa and consequently, the evolutionary...
