## Abstract In ciliates, chromosomal rearrangements occur during the development of the somatic macronuclear genome from the germline micronuclear genome. These rearrangements are extensive in three ciliate classesโArmophorea, Spirotrichea, and Phyllopharyngeaโgenerating a macronucleus with up to 2
In the hypotrichous ciliate Oxytricho nova the cloned precursor gene from the micronuclear genome that encodes actin 1 is composed o f highly disordered blocks of deoxynucleotide sequences. We present and illustrate in detail a recombination model that explains how the actin I gene may be unscramble
