TL;DR: Insight is provided into how obligate parasites with diverse life strategies arose from a once free-living phototrophic marine alga, and co-regulated with genes encoding the flagellar apparatus supporting the functional contribution of flagella to the evolution of invasion machinery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Major transitions in dinoflagellate evolution unveiled by phylotranscriptomics.

TL;DR: It is shown that the dinoflagellate theca originated once, through a process that likely involved changes in the metabolism of cellulose, and it is suggested that a late origin of dinosterol in the group is at odds with dinof lagellates being the source of this important biomarker before the Mesozoic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of nucleosomal DNA condensation coincides with appearance of a novel nuclear protein in dinoflagellates.
Sebastian G. Gornik,Kristina L. Ford,Terrence D. Mulhern,Antony Bacic,Geoffrey I. McFadden,Ross F. Waller +5 more
TL;DR: A novel, dominant family of nuclear proteins that is only found in dinoflagellates and, surprisingly, in a family of large algal viruses, the Phycodnaviridae are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endosymbiosis undone by stepwise elimination of the plastid in a parasitic dinoflagellate.
