Genome biology: The sleek and Oh-So chic oxytricha nanochromosomes

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract

The somatic nucleus of Oxytricha trifallax contains over 15,000 different chromosomes, most containing a single gene. Analysis of this 50 Mb genome uncovers novel regulatory strategies and adaptive potential when gene copy number and allelic frequency are no longer constrained by genetic linkage.
