Developmental timing of programmed DNA elimination in <i>Paramecium tetraurelia</i> recapitulates germline transposon evolutionary dynamics
2022-05-19
Abstract excerpt
With its nuclear dualism, the ciliate Paramecium constitutes an original model to study how host genomes cope with transposable elements (TEs). P. tetraurelia harbors two germline micronuclei (MIC) and a polyploid somatic macronucleus (MAC) that develops from the MIC at each sexual cycle. Throughout evolution, the MIC genome has been continuously colonized by TEs and related sequences that are removed from the s...
