Meiotic Genes in Colpodean Ciliates Support Secretive Sexuality.

Genome biology and evolution - 1 Jun 2017

Dunthorn Micah, Zufall Rebecca A, Chi Jingyun, Paszkiewicz Konrad, Moore Karen, Mahé Frédéric

Abstract excerpt

The putatively asexual Colpodean ciliates potentially pose a problem to macro-organismic theories of evolution. They are extremely ancient (although asexuality is thought to hasten extinction), and yet there is one apparently derived sexual species (implying an unlikely regain of a complex trait). If macro-organismic theories of evolution also broadly apply to microbial eukaryotes, though, then most or all of the...
