Scientists testing a new method of sequencing single cells have unexpectedly changed our understanding of the rules of genetics. The genome of a protist has revealed a seemingly unique divergence in ...
This study is led by Dr. Ying Yan (Institute of Evolution & Marine Biodiversity, Ocean University of China). Ciliated protists represent one of the most primitive lineages of eukaryotes, with nuclear ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 62, No. 2 (2017), pp. 421-436 (16 pages) Fast, frequent, and spontaneous jumping by the photosynthetic ciliate Mesodinium rubrum is highly adaptive for overcoming ...
Symbiosis has been critical to evolution. We know that mitochondria, critical organelles that generate energy in the cell of every animal, are originally derived from a microbe that entered another ...
