Sex Determination: Ciliates' Self-Censorship
Differentiation involves the expression of certain latent cellular characteristics and the repression of others. A new study has revealed how Paramecium uses short RNAs to delete information from the somatic genome of one of its two sexes.
متن کاملPattern determination and pattern regulation in Paramecium tetraurelia.
Pattern regulation was investigated in the progeny of laterally fused cells of Paramecium tetraurelia. The immediate progeny of such fused cells (doublets) reveal two sets of cortical organelles arranged roughly symmetrically. Doublets tend to transform gradually into cells with only one set of organelles (singlets). At least two different and mutually exclusive pathways of doublet-to-singlet t...
متن کاملSeasonal Pattern of Planktonic Ciliates in a Subtropical Shallow Urban Lake
In order to realize the ecological specialty of man-made lake located in urban area in South China, species composition, dominant species dynamics and other parameters of ciliate community were investigated with the qualitative and quantitative observations from April of 2009 to March of 2010, in Dongshan Lake, a subtropical shallow urban lake in South China. The relationship between the parame...
متن کاملUniversal Molecular Computation in Ciliates
How do cells and nature \compute"? They read and \rewrite" DNA all the time, by processes that modify sequences at the DNA or RNA level. In 1994, Adleman's elegant solution to a seven-city Directed Hamiltonian Path problem using DNA 1] launched the new eld of DNA computing, which in a few years has grown to international scope. However, unknown to this eld, ciliated protozoans of genus Oxytrich...
متن کاملReversible Molecular Computation in Ciliates
We prove that a reversible model for the guided homologous recom-binations that take place during gene rearrangement in ciliates has the computational power of a Turing machine, the accepted formal model of computation. This indicates that, in principle, these unicellular organisms may have the capacity to perform any computation carried out by an electronic computer. 1 Gene unscrambling as com...
