G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics (Apr 2021)
Transcribed germline-limited coding sequences in <i>Oxytricha trifallax</i>
Abstract
AbstractThe germline-soma divide is a fundamental distinction in developmental biology, and different genes are expressed in germline and somatic cells throughout metazoan life cycles. Ciliates, a group of microbial eukaryotes, exhibit germline-somatic nuclear dimorphism within a single cell with two different genomes. The ciliate Oxytricha trifallaxO. trifallax
