Tetrahymena as a Unicellular Model Eukaryote: Genetic and Genomic Tools
TLDR
The tools for the use of Tetrahymena as a model eukaryote are described, including an overview of its life cycle, orientation to its evolutionary roots, and methodological approaches to forward and reverse genetics.
An olympian protozoan
TLDR
This brief essay summarizes advances of ciliates of the genus Tetrahymena, which enabled the discovery of the telomeric DNA repeat, telomerase and self-splicing RNA, as well as figuring prominently in the recognition of histone modifications as an epigenetic mechanism.

Tetrahymena Comparative Genomics Sequencing Project
  • Biology
  • 2007
TLDR
The comparative genome sequence made available by this project would be invaluable to the study of processes relevant to human health, such as chromatin structure, telomeres and telomerase, ciliary motility, RNAi, phagocytosis, regulated secretion, etc.
Perspectives on the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila.
The Green Tetrahymena utriculariae n. sp. (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) with Its Endosymbiotic Algae (Micractinium sp.), Living in Traps of a Carnivorous Aquatic Plant
TLDR
The morphological and molecular description of the first green representative of the Tetrahymena utriculariae n.
Macronuclear Genome Sequence of the Ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila, a Model Eukaryote
The ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila is a model organism for molecular and cellular biology. Like other ciliates, this species has separate germline and soma functions that are embodied by distinct…
HAP2-Mediated Gamete Fusion: Lessons From the World of Unicellular Eukaryotes
TLDR
The current state of knowledge around how mating types from these algal and ciliate systems recognize, adhere and fuse to one another, current gaps in their understanding of HAP2-mediated gamete fusion, and opportunities for applying what the authors know in practical terms are summarized.
N6-methyladenine DNA modification in the unicellular eukaryotic organism Tetrahymena thermophila.
Constitutive Secretion in Tetrahymena thermophila
TLDR
This work provides the first comprehensive analysis of secreted proteins in T. thermophila and establishes the groundwork for future studies of constitutive protein secretion biology and biotechnology in ciliates.
