We report the existence of both methylcytosine and hydroxymethylcytosine in the genomic DNA of the ciliate Oxytricha trifallax during its genome rearrangement process. These modifications are dynamica
As the field of phylogenetics transitions into phylogenomics it has spurred a shift in the general paradigm for data analysis whereby specific dataset attributes can now be considered in a model-based
The Holliday junction, a key intermediate in both homologous and site-specific recombination, is generated by the reciprocal exchange of single strands between two DNA duplexes. Resolution of the junc
At each sexual cycle, during development of the somatic macronucleus (MAC) from the germline micronucleus (MIC), the genome of the ciliate Paramecium tetraurelia is massively rearranged through the re
