Single-Cell Genomic Sequencing of Three Peritrichs (Protista, Ciliophora) Reveals Less Biased Stop Codon Usage and More Prevalent Programmed Ribosomal Frameshifting Than in Other Ciliates

Peritrichs are one of the largest groups of ciliates with over 1,000 species described so far. However, their genomic features are largely unknown. By single-cell genomic sequencing, we acquired the genomic data of three sessilid peritrichs (Cothurnia ceramicola, Vaginicola sp., and Zoothamnium sp....
