Amitosis confers benefits of sex in the absence of sex to Tetrahymena

H. Zhang, J. A. West, R. A. Zufall, R. B. R. Azevedo

This study shows that amitosis in Tetrahymena provides evolutionary benefits similar to sex, enabling long-term success of asexual lineages by reducing mutation load and accelerating adaptation.

Meiotic Genes In Colpodean Ciliates Support Secretive Sexuality

M. Dunthorn, R. A. Zufall, J. Chi, K. Paszkiewicz, K. Moore, F. Mahe

The paper shows that colpodean ciliates have meiotic genes under functional constraint, suggesting they are sexual despite being thought asexual.
