Nuclear dualism without extensive DNA elimination in the ciliate <i>Loxodes magnus</i>

2023-11-13

Abstract excerpt

Ciliates are unicellular eukaryotes with two distinct kinds of nuclei in each cell: transcriptionally active somatic macronuclei (MAC) and silent germline micronuclei (MIC). In the best-studied model species, both nuclei can divide asexually, but only germline MICs participate in meiosis, karyogamy, and development into new MACs. During MIC-to-MAC development, thousands of mobile element relics in the germline, ca...
