Genomic analysis finds no evidence of canonical eukaryotic DNA processing complexes in a free-living protist

The mechanisms for replicating and segregating DNA are highly conserved across eukaryotes. A comparative genomic analysis of a free-living protist finds a surprising lack of protein complexes involved in these processes, suggesting that the organism uses alternative mechanisms to process DNA.
