DNA methylation in ciliates: implications in differentiation processes [PDF]
Much experimental evidence on the role of DNA methylation in gene expression has been reported. Here we review reports on DNA methylation in ciliated protozoa, emphasizing its implications in cell differentiation processes. Both types of methylated bases

The Biochemical Status of Particles in Paramecium aurelia [PDF]
SUMMARY: μ particles of stock 540 (syngen 1) of Paramecium aurelia were isolated and studied. Electron microscopy showed that isolated μ particles were very similar to bacteria in fine structure, the general appearance being similar to that found by earlier workers.

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

Genome-wide analysis of genetic and epigenetic control of programmed DNA deletion [PDF]
During the development of the somatic genome from the Paramecium germline genome the bulk of the copies of ∼45 000 unique, internal eliminated sequences (IESs) are deleted.

Immobilization Antigen in Heterozygous Clones of Paramecium aurelia [PDF]
CLONES of Paramecium aurelia, heterozygous for two alleles at one of the loci specifying the immobilization antigens1, react to both parental type-specific antisera, but usually more strongly to one parental type than to the other. It is of considerable interest to determine whether these heterozygous antigens consist of one molecular species combining
