Comparative genomics reveals insight into the evolutionary origin of massively scrambled genomes

2022-05-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Ciliates are microbial eukaryotes that undergo extensive programmed genome rearrangement that converts long germline chromosomes into smaller gene-rich somatic chromosomes. Three well-studied ciliates include Oxytricha trifallax , Tetrahymena thermophila and Paramecium tetraurelia , but only the Oxytricha lineage has a massively scrambled genome whose assembly requires hundreds of thousands o...
