Hidden genetic variation in the germline genome of Tetrahymena thermophila.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jun 2016

Dimond K L, Zufall R A

Abstract excerpt

Genome architecture varies greatly among eukaryotes. This diversity may profoundly affect the origin and maintenance of genetic variation within a population. Ciliates are microbial eukaryotes with unusual genome features, such as the separation of germline and somatic genomes within a single cell and amitotic division. These features have previously been proposed to increase the rate of molecular evolution in...
