Gene fragmentation: a key to mitochondrial genome evolution in Euglenozoa?

abstract：:A screening procedure for cell cycle mutants among is mutants of Physarum has been developed for unsynchronized microplasmodia. The synchronization of the microplasmodia and the ratio of pre- to post-mitotic nuclei were evaluated after a transient shift-up to the non-permissive temperature. In contrast with wild type ...
