Massive colonization of protein-coding exons by selfish genetic elements in <i>Paramecium</i> germline genomes

2020-12-24

Abstract excerpt

Ciliates are unicellular eukaryotes with both a germline genome and a somatic genome in the same cytoplasm. The somatic macronucleus (MAC), responsible for gene expression, is not sexually transmitted but develops from a copy of the germline micronucleus (MIC) at each sexual generation. In the MIC genome of Paramecium tetraurelia , genes are interrupted by tens of thousands of unique intervening sequences, called...
