Prolonged exposure to constant environmental conditions prompts nonrandom genetic variation

F. Catania, R. Hagen, V. Vitali

The paper shows that prolonged exposure to constant environmental conditions leads to nonrandom genetic variation in somatic DNA segments, disrupting nutrient metabolism loci.

Sex enhances survival in Paramecium

A. S. Thind, V. Vitali, M. R. Guarracino, F. Catania

This study shows that self-fertilization in Paramecium tetraurelia increases stress resistance independently of new genetic variation, suggesting a fitness benefit of sex.

Enhanced plasticity of programmed DNA elimination boosts adaptive potential in suboptimal environments

V. Vitali, R. Hagen, F. Catania

The paper shows that suboptimal temperatures affect Programmed DNA elimination in Paramecium, leading to alternative DNA splicing variants with epigenetic control and evolutionary significance.
