Evolutionary dynamics of a conserved sequence motif in the ribosomal genes of the ciliate
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background In protozoa, the identification of preserved motifs by comparative genomics is often impeded by difficulties to generate reliable alignments for non-coding sequences.

Somewhere over the... what? [PDF]
, 2016 In order to defend his controversial claim that observation is unaided perception, Bas van Fraassen, the originator of constructive empiricism, suggested that, for all we know, the images produced by a microscope could be in a situation analogous to that

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009 Phagosome maturation is a complex process enabling degradation of internalised particles. Our data obtained at the gene, protein and cellular level indicate that the set of components involved in this process and known up to now in mammalian cells is ...

Determination of the presence of 5-methylcytosine in Paramecium tetraurelia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 5-methylcytosine DNA methylation regulates gene expression and developmental programming in a broad range of eukaryotes. However, its presence and potential roles in ciliates, complex single-celled eukaryotes with germline-somatic genome specialization ...

Novel insights into the genetic diversity of Balantidium and Balantidium-like cyst-forming ciliates [PDF]
, 2013 Balantidiasis is considered a neglected zoonotic disease with pigs serving as reservoir hosts. However, Balantidium coli has been recorded in many other mammalian species, including primates. Here, we evaluated the genetic diversity of B.

Genetic differentiation of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase C subunit I gene in genus Paramecium (Protista, Ciliophora). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene is being used increasingly for evaluating inter- and intra-specific genetic diversity of ciliated protists. However, very few studies focus on assessing genetic divergence of the COI

Gravitaxis of asymmetric self-propelled colloidal particles [PDF]
, 2014 Many motile microorganisms adjust their swimming motion relative to the gravitational field and thus counteract sedimentation to the ground. This gravitactic behavior is often the result of an inhomogeneous mass distribution which aligns the ...

Buckling of a beam extruded into highly viscous fluid
, 2014 Inspired by microscopic paramecies which use trichocyst extrusion to propel themselves away from thermal aggressions, we propose a macroscopic experiment to study the stability of a slender beam extruded in a highly viscous fluid.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Being able to infer the interactions between a set of species from observations of the system is of paramount importance to obtain explanatory and predictive models in ecology. We tackled this challenge by employing qualitative modelling frameworks and logic methods for the synthesis of mathematical models that can integrate both observations ...
