Massive colonization of protein-coding exons by selfish genetic elements in Paramecium germline genomes.

Massive colonization of protein-coding exons by selfish genetic elements in Paramecium germline genomes.

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 g...
