* * Figure 2. Tetrahymena Scan RNA model. The model depicted represents the scan RNA model put forth by Gorovsky and colleagues (Mochizuki and Gorovsky 2004). This scan model proposes that the entire micronuclear genome or regions immediately surrounding IESs are bidirectionally transcribed in the MIC. This transcription occurs prior to DNA elimination (depicted by asterisk); the MIC is active (green) for a short period when it changes morphology and elongates. During DNA elimination, the MIC resumes its silent state (shown in red in mating pair). The small (28-nt) RNAs are the products of dsR
