Abstract
In Paramecium, during the development of the somatic macronucleus, precise excision of thousands of single-copy non-coding sequences is initiated by specific DNA double-strand breaks, while imprecise elimination of germ-line-limited repeated sequences leads to internal deletions or chromosome fragmentation. Recent data point to a role of non-coding RNAs in the epigenetic programming of these rearrangements.
