OUC Achieved New Progress in the Genome Annotation of the Macronucleus of Tetrahymena
Tetrahymena thermophila is a unicellular model eukaryote, widely applied to foundational biological research. Recently, the research team led by Professor Gao Shan has optimized the genome annotation of the macronucleus of Tetrahymena thermophila by integrating large-scale transcriptomic and epigenetic data, and applying machine learning models, manual curation, and experimental validation. The research findings, titled Comprehensive genome annotation of the model ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila
