Enhanced plasticity of programmed DNA elimination boosts adaptive potential in suboptimal environments

2018-10-20

Abstract excerpt

The impact of ecological changes on the development of new somatic genomes has thus far been neglected. This oversight yields an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms that underlie environmental adaptation and can be tackled leveraging the biological properties of ciliates. When Paramecium reproduces sexually, its polyploid somatic genome regenerates from the germline genome via a developmental process, Prog...
