✦ Synopsis

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 unscrambled during macronuclear development after cell mating. The model was described in a previous publication (Greslin et al.
