Decryption of the survival “black box”: gene family expansion promotes the encystment in ciliated protists

Abstract Background Encystment is an important survival strategy extensively employed by microbial organisms to survive unfavorable conditions. Single-celled ciliated protists (ciliates) are popular model eukaryotes for studying encystment, whereby these cells degenerate their ciliary structures and...
