A mutation in Paramecium tetraurelia reveals functional and structural features of developmentally excised DNA elements.

Genetics - 1 Jan 1998

Mayer K M, Mikami K, Forney J D

Abstract excerpt

The excision of internal eliminated sequences (IESs) from the germline micronuclear DNA occurs during the differentiation of a new macronuclear genome in ciliated protozoa. In Paramecium, IESs are generally short (28-882 bp), AT rich DNA elements that show few conserved sequence features with the exception of an inverted-terminal-repeat consensus sequence that has similarity to the ends of mariner/Tcl transposons...
