On the initiative of a group from the Centre de Genetic Moleculaire, scientists from the CNRS (French National Research Organization) and Genoscope, the French National DNA Sequencing Centre, have just decoded the genome of Paramecium, a unicellular organism of considerable interest to evolutionary biologists. Thanks to the discovery that there were three genome duplications at different time scales, they were able to evaluate directly the consequences of this phenomenon on the evolution of species. These results will appear in the journal Nature of November 9, 2006 (online on November 1st).
