DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2018.12.003
Abstract: Although some Paramecium species are suitable research objects in many areas of life sciences, the biodiversity structure of other species is almost unknown. In the current survey, we present a molecular analysis of 60 Cypriostomum… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-27050-8
Abstract: Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is a bi-directional process by which particles are carried within the cilia or flagella. This process is essential for ciliary growth and functional maintenance. The IFT complex B (IFTB) is linked to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msad107
Abstract: Abstract Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) have shaped the gene repertoire of many eukaryotic lineages. The redundancy created by WGDs typically results in a phase of massive gene loss. However, some WGD–derived paralogs are maintained over long… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.02.15.480485
Abstract: Paramecium is a large unicellular organism that swims in fresh water using cilia. When stimulated by various means (mechanically, chemically, optically, thermally), it often swims backward then turns and swims forward again in a new… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.05.18.492358
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.
