Draft:Diplomixis

Review waiting, please be patient.

This may take 2 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 1,393 pending submissions waiting for review.

If the submission is accepted, then this page will be moved into the article space.
If the submission is declined, then the reason will be posted here.
In the meantime, you can continue to improve this submission by editing normally.

Where to get help

If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.

Improving your odds of a speedy review

To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest. For instance, if you wrote about a female astronomer, you would want to add the Biography, Astronomy, and Women scientists tags.

Diplomixis is a process of genetic material mixing between the nuclei of Diplomonads, parasitic organisms that possess two (or more) transcriptionally active nuclei. Presence of the homologous recombination (or template-dependent recombination) machinery and nuclear fusion are the prerequisites for dimplomixis to happen.

Diplomixis is believed to occur in G. duodenalis species and contribute to the parasite's progeny (a) reduced genetic heterozygosity in asexual species,^[1]^[2]

(b) potentially increase the recombination in sexual/recombining strains.^[3]^[4]

More research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms and implications of diplomixis on Giardia genetics and species evolution.
