Open AccessSingle cell genome analysis supports a link between phagotrophy and primary plastid endosymbiosis
Two cases of primary plastid endosymbiosis are known. The first occurred ca. 1.6 billion years ago and putatively gave rise to the canonical plastid in algae and plants. The second is restricted to a genus of ...

Open AccessSingle cell genome analysis of an uncultured heterotrophic stramenopile
A broad swath of eukaryotic microbial biodiversity cannot be cultivated in the lab and is therefore inaccessible to conventional genome-wide comparative methods. One promising approach to study these lineages ...

Open AccessDivergence time estimates and the evolution of major lineages in the florideophyte red algae
The Florideophyceae is the most abundant and taxonomically diverse class of red algae (Rhodophyta). However, many aspects of the systematics and divergence times of the group remain unresolved. Using a seven-g...

Open AccessReconstructing the complex evolutionary history of mobile plasmids in red algal genomes
The integration of foreign DNA into algal and plant plastid genomes is a rare event, with only a few known examples of horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Plasmids, which are well-studied drivers of HGT in prokary...
