Deploying microscopy and molecular tools to illuminate the nuclear nature of ciliate species and their associate microbiomes

We are combining microscopy and single-cell ‘omics to understand the evolution of nuclear features and the diversity of associated microbiomes among the ciliate genera, Chilodonella and Halteria.
