Open AccessDevelopment of a toolbox to dissect host-endosymbiont interactions and protein trafficking in the trypanosomatid Angomonas deanei
Bacterial endosymbionts are found across the eukaryotic kingdom and profoundly impacted eukaryote evolution. In many endosymbiotic associations with vertically inherited symbionts, highly complementary metabol...

Open AccessThe Capsella rubella genome and the genomic consequences of rapid mating system evolution
Stephen Wright, Detlef Weigel and colleagues report the whole-genome sequence of Capsella rubella, a highly selfing crucifer found throughout much of southern and western Europe. They compare mixed-stage flower b...

Open AccessThe Amphimedon queenslandica genome and the evolution of animal complexity
Sponges are an ancient group of animals that diverged from other metazoans over 600 million years ago. Here we present the draft genome sequence of Amphimedon queenslandica, a demosponge from the Great Barrier Re...

Open AccessEarly evolution of the LIM homeobox gene family
LIM homeobox (Lhx) transcription factors are unique to the animal lineage and have patterning roles during embryonic development in flies, nematodes and vertebrates, with a conserved role in specifying neurona...

Open AccessThe Sorghum bicolor genome and the diversification of grasses
Sorghum, an African grass related to sugar cane and maize, is grown for food, feed, fibre and fuel. We present an initial analysis of the ∼730-megabase Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench genome, placing ∼98% of genes in...

Open AccessThe Trichoplax genome and the nature of placozoans
As arguably the simplest free-living animals, placozoans may represent a primitive metazoan form, yet their biology is poorly understood. Here we report the sequencing and analysis of the ∼98 million base pair...

Open AccessThe genome of the choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis and the origin of metazoans
Choanoflagellates are the closest known relatives of metazoans. To discover potential molecular mechanisms underlying the evolution of metazoan multicellularity, we sequenced and analysed the genome of the uni...

Community structure and metabolism through reconstruction of microbial genomes from the environment
Microbial communities are vital in the functioning of all ecosystems; however, most microorganisms are uncultivated, and their roles in natural systems are unclear. Here, using random shotgun sequencing of DNA...
