Somatic genome architecture and molecular evolution are decoupled in "young" linage-specific gene families in ciliates. by Xyrus X Maurer-Alcalá, Auden Cote-L'Heureux, Sergei L Kosakovsky Pond, Laura A Katz

“…Here we explore the origins of lineage-specific genes in ciliates, a ~1 billion year old clade of microeukaryotes that are defined by their division of somatic and germline functions into distinct nuclei. Previous analyses on conserved gene families have shown the effect of ciliates' unusual genome architecture on gene family evolution: extensive genome processing-the generation of thousands of gene-sized somatic chromosomes from canonical germline chromosomes-is associated with larger and more diverse gene families. …”
