We discuss the suggestion that differences in the nucleotide composition between plastid
and nuclear genomes may provide a selective advantage in the transposition of genes from …

Diverse microbial ecosystems underpin life in the sea. Among these microbes are many
unicellular eukaryotes that span the diversity of the eukaryotic tree of life. However, genetic …

Dinoflagellates are an economically and ecologically important eukaryotic algal group. The
organization of their chloroplast genome appears to be radically different from that in plants …

Dinoflagellate algae are notorious for their highly unusual organization of nuclear and
chloroplast genomes. Early studies on the dinoflagellate mitochondrial genome indicated that it …

The TSC1/TSC2-TOR signaling pathway [the signaling pathway that includes the heterodimeric
TSC1 (tuberous sclerosis 1 protein)–TSC2 (tuberous sclerosis 2 protein) complex and …

We have characterized the mitochondrial genome of the dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae.
It contains just 3 identifiable protein-coding genes: cox1, cox3, and cob. No evidence for …

The chloroplast genome has a similar organization across a wide range of plants and algae.
It comprises a circular molecule of >120 kb with >120 genes. However, the organization of …

10.7554/eLife.45292.001 Coral reefs are some of the most important and ecologically diverse
marine environments. At the base of the reef ecosystem are dinoflagellate algae, which …

The dinoflagellates are an important group of eukaryotic, single celled algae. They are the
sister group of the Apicomplexa, a group of intracellular parasites and photosynthetic algae …

Cattle are an incredibly valuable asset to farmers throughout the world (Fig 1). They provide
power, transport, fertiliser, fuel, and nutrition. In some areas, cattle guarantee a family’s food …
