Open AccessEukaryote-to-eukaryote gene transfer gives rise to genome mosaicism in euglenids
Euglenophytes are a group of photosynthetic flagellates possessing a plastid derived from a green algal endosymbiont, which was incorporated into an ancestral host cell via secondary endosymbiosis. However, th...

Open AccessCyanobacterial contribution to the genomes of the plastid-lacking protists
Eukaryotic genes with cyanobacterial ancestry in plastid-lacking protists have been regarded as important evolutionary markers implicating the presence of plastids in the early evolution of eukaryotes. Althoug...

Open AccessOrigins of a cyanobacterial 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in plastid-lacking eukaryotes
Plastids have inherited their own genomes from a single cyanobacterial ancestor, but the majority of cyanobacterial genes, once retained in the ancestral plastid genome, have been lost or transferred into the ...
