This list of sequenced protist genomes contains all the protist species known to have publicly available complete genome sequences
The gene density of an organism's genome is the ratio of the number of genes per number of base pairs, usually written in terms of a million base pairs, or ...
A genome is all the genetic information of an organism. [1] It consists of nucleotide sequences of DNA (or RNA in RNA viruses).
Tetrahymena thermophila has about 200 million nucleotides : 181 and 27 thousand genes in its nuclear genome. It also exhibits nuclear dimorphism ...
dubium reportedly has one of the largest genome size of any organism known, though the authors of a 2004 study suggest treating that measurement with caution.
Horizontal gene transfer is recognized as a pervasive evolutionary process that distributes genes between divergent prokaryotic lineages.
The genetic code used by various organisms, in some cases with slight variations, notably the use of UGA as a tryptophan codon rather than a stop codon.
Tetrahymena is a genus of free-living ciliates, examples of unicellular eukaryotes. The genus Tetrahymena is the most widely studied member of its phylum.
Giardia is a genus of anaerobic flagellated protozoan parasites of the phylum Metamonada that colonise and reproduce in the small intestines of several ...
The ciliates are a group of alveolates characterized by the presence of hair-like organelles called cilia, which are identical in structure to eukaryotic ...
