Journal ArticleDOI

A molecular timeline for the origin of photosynthetic eukaryotes

TL;DR: An ancient (late Paleoproterozoic) origin of photosynthetic eukaryotes with the primary endosymbiosis that gave rise to the first alga having occurred after the split of the Plantae from the opisthokonts sometime before 1,558 MYA is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Green Evolution and Dynamic Adaptations Revealed by Genomes of the Marine Picoeukaryotes Micromonas

TL;DR: It is found that genomes from two isolates shared only 90% of their predicted genes, and divergence appears to have been facilitated by selection and acquisition processes that actively shape the repertoire of genes that are mutually exclusive between the two isolate differently than the core genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Origin and Establishment of the Plastid in Algae and Plants

TL;DR: Recent genomic and phylogenomic approaches have significantly clarified plastid genome evolution, the movement of endosymbiont genes to the "host" nuclear genome (endosYmbiotic gene transfer), and plastsid spread throughout the eukaryotic tree of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic Footprints of a Cryptic Plastid Endosymbiosis in Diatoms

TL;DR: Using a genome-wide approach to estimate the “green” contribution to diatoms, it is identified >1700 green gene transfers, constituting 16% of the diatom nuclear coding potential.
