Inactivation of a macronuclear intra-S-phase checkpoint in Tetrahymena thermophila with caffeine affects the integrity of the micronuclear genome

{{output}}
Aphidicolin (APH), an inhibitor of DNA polymerase α, arrested cell divisions in Tetrahymena thermophila. Surprisingly, low concentrations of APH induced an increase of macronuclear DNA content and cell size in non-dividing cells. In spite of the cell size inc... ...
