The Searchable Ciliate

This page allows the viewer to access information regarding the biology of Tetrahymena thermophila. As you move your cursor over an organelle or a life-history stage, the structures are highlighted and a label appears. By then clicking on the icon, you will go to an information page that includes literature and genes (via the TGD) implicated in the biology of that specific structure or process. The literature is by no means exhaustive or complete, but represent a sample of pertinent articles.
