The paper shows hybrid membranes select for D-ribose, deoxyribose, and specific L-amino acids, suggesting membrane permeability influenced life's stereochemistry.

This study identifies an immune-like glycan-sensing/processing network in Paramecium bursaria that regulates its algal endosymbionts through horizontal gene transfers.

The paper presents a de novo genome and transcriptome assembly of Paramecium bursaria 186b, revealing intron characteristics and evolutionary dynamics in ciliates.

The paper identifies and validates the RNAi pathway in Paramecium bursaria, showing its role in feeding-induced gene knock-down and endosymbiosis genetics.
