Abstract: With its nuclear dualism, the ciliate Paramecium constitutes an original model to study how host genomes cope with transposable elements (TEs). P. tetraurelia harbors two germline micronuclei (MIC) and a polyploid somatic macronucleus (MAC) that… read more here.

Abstract: Gene duplication and diversification drive the emergence of novel functions during evolution. Because of whole genome duplications, ciliates from the Paramecium aurelia group constitute a remarkable system to study the evolutionary fate of duplicated genes.… read more here.
