Conjugation in Euplotes songi, a phylogenetically basal species in the genus Euplotes: Nuclear events and new pheromone gene variants.

Abstract excerpt

Ciliate conjugation represents a fundamental biological process that involves complex nuclear reorganization and genetic exchange. In this study, we employed an integrated set of cytological and molecular approaches to investigate Euplotes songi-a phylogenetically basal species of the genus Euplotes-with the aim of determining the entire cascade of nuclear events during conjugation and obtaining new information...
