Programmed Chromosome Deletion in the Ciliate Oxytricha trifallax
The ciliate Oxytricha trifallax contains two nuclei: a germline micronucleus and a somatic macronucleus. These two nuclei diverge significantly in genomic structure. The micronucleus contains approximately 100 chromosomes of megabase scale, while the macronucleus contains 16,000 gene-sized, high plo...
