Functional diversification of Paramecium Ku80 paralogs safeguards genome integrity during precise programmed DNA elimination.
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. Paramecium species harbor two types of nuc...
