Abstract excerpt
In most organisms, all cells inherit the same genome, and many mechanisms exist to preserve its integrity across cell divisions. Programmed DNA elimination (PDE), the targeted removal of specific genomic regions from somatic cell lineages during early embryogenesis, is a striking exception. Since its discovery in parasitic nematodes over a century ago, PDE has been observed in diverse eukaryotes, including ciliate...
