Identification and analysis of functional associations among natural eukaryotic genome editing components
2017-08-08
Abstract excerpt
During development in the ciliate Paramecium, excess DNA interspersed throughout the germline genome is deleted to generate a new somatic genome. In this process, most of the intervening DNA is excised by a Piggybac-derived transposase, assisted by small RNAs (scnRNAs and iesRNAs) and chromatin remodelling. As the list of genes involved in DNA elimination has been growing, a need for a general approach to discove...
