The macronuclear (MAC) genomes of ciliates belonging to the genus Euplotes species are
comprised of numerous small DNA molecules, nanochromosomes, each typically encoding a …

Mycobacteria are endowed with rich and diverse machinery for the synthesis, utilization, and
degradation of cAMP. The actions of cyclic nucleotides are generally mediated by binding …

During their development following sexual conjugation, ciliates excise numerous internal
eliminated sequences (IESs) from a copy of the germline genome to produce the functional …

Insects typically acquire their beneficial microbes early in development. Endosymbionts
housed intracellularly are commonly integrated during oogenesis or embryogenesis, whereas …

With the general aim of extending the chemistry of “inidene” compounds [LnM~ E (R)“ML „]
ml (L „M= 16-electron organometallic fragment, ERm= six-electron main-group species) to …

During mRNA localization, RNA-binding proteins interact with specific structured mRNA
localization motifs. Although several such motifs have been identified, we have limited structural …

Massive DNA excision occurs regularly in ciliates, ubiquitous microbial eukaryotes with
somatic and germline nuclei in the same cell. Tens of thousands of internally eliminated …

Patent information users have access to a wide variety of patent databases from commercial
providers and the patent offices which significantly differ in content and coverage. A clear …

Loxodes is one of the best ecologically characterized ciliate genera with numerous
intriguing physiological abilities, including gravity-sensing organelles and nitrate respiration. …

The germ-soma distinction is a defining feature of multicellular eukaryotes. Analogous to this,
ciliates, a ubiquitous microbial eukaryote lineage, have morphologically and functionally …
