Characterization of Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) in Ciliated Protists Inferred by Comparative Genomics

Microorganisms, 2020
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are prevalent in the genomes of all organisms. They are widely used as genetic markers, and are insertion/deletion mutation hotspots, which directly influence genome evolution.

A new marine ciliate, Apofrontonia jejuensis n. sp. (Protozoa, Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) from Jeju Island, South Korea, and an improved diagnosis of the genus Apofrontonia

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The genus Apofrontonia comprises vicarious species that until now have only been described in a few locations worldwide. It was assigned to the family Frontoniidae based on two diagnostic features, i.e., the closely arranged kinetal rows in the peniculi ...
