Epigenetic Programming of Developmental Genome Rearrangements in Ciliates

They have most often been reSomatic Mutation vealed by their effects on gene expression, and indicate The first evidence of an epigenetic regulation of rethat identical genomic sequences can be stably mainarrangement patterns ca...
متن کاملGenomes on the Edge: Programmed Genome Instability in Ciliates
Ciliates are an ancient and diverse group of microbial eukaryotes that have emerged as powerful models for RNA-mediated epigenetic inheritance. They possess extensive sets of both tiny and long noncoding RNAs that, together with a suite of proteins that includes transposases, orchestrate a broad cascade of genome rearrangements during somatic nuclear development. This Review emphasizes three im...
متن کاملProgrammed Genome Rearrangements: In Lampreys, All Cells Are Not Equal
How can organisms silence deleterious gene loci? A recent study has shed light on a very brute mechanism in a jawless vertebrate: the irreversible deletion of massive chunks of genomic DNA.
متن کاملGraph Polynomials Motivated by Gene Rearrangements in Ciliates
Gene rearrangements within the process of gene assembly in ciliates can be represented using a 4-regular graph. Based on this observation, Burns et al. [Discrete Appl. Math., 2013] propose a graph polynomial abstracting basic features of the assembly process, like the number of segments excised. We show that this assembly polynomial is essentially (i) a single variable case of the transition po...
متن کاملShifty Ciliates Frequent Programmed Translational Frameshifting in Euplotids
Recent work suggests that there is a high frequency of programmed +1 translational frameshifting in ciliates of the Euplotes genus. Frequent frameshifting may have been potentiated by stop codon reassignment, which is also a feature of this group.
