The tiny germline chromosomes of Paramecium aurelia have anexceptionally high recombination rate and are capped by a new class of Helitrons

Olivier Arnaiz, Frédéric Guèrin, Arnaud Couloux, Caridad Miró-Pina, Guillaume Pellerin, Irina Nekrasova, Joëlle Amselem, Jean‐Marc Aury, Simran Bhullar, Andrea Frapporti, Emmanuelle Lerat, Isabelle Luyten, Sophie Malinsky, Nathalie Mathy, Alexey A. Potekhin, , Linda Sperling

The paper reports the genome of Paramecium aurelia, revealing tiny germline chromosomes with an exceptionally high recombination rate and a new class of Helitrons at their ends.

A histone methyltransferase-independent function of PRC2 controls small RNA dynamics during programmed DNA elimination in Paramecium

Caridad Miró-Pina, Olivia Charmant, Marina Giovannetti, Augustin de Vanssay, Andrea Frapporti, Adeline Humbert, Maoussi Lhuillier‐Akakpo, Guillaume Chevreux, Olivier Arnaiz, Sandra Duharcourt

The paper shows PRC2 controls small RNA dynamics during DNA elimination in Paramecium by selectively degrading non-TE scnRNAs, independent of its histone methyltransferase activity.
