Journal ArticleDOI
Selfish genes, the phenotype paradigm and genome evolution.
W. F. Doolittle,Carmen Sapienza +1 more
TL;DR: Natural selection operating within genomes will inevitably result in the appearance of DNAs with no phenotypic expression whose only ‘function’ is survival within genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Partial sequences of 16S rRNA and the phylogeny of blue-green algae and chloroplasts
L. Bonen,W. F. Doolittle +1 more
TL;DR: Partial sequence analyses of 16S ribosomal RNAs of blue-green algae and chloroplasts reveal that blue- green algae are typically prokaryotic and related to the bacilli, and that euglenoid and red algal chloroplast may have arisen independently.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selfish DNAs with self-restraint
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of gene expression in blue-green algae.
R. A. Singer,W. F. Doolittle +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that exogenous substrates do not usually support significant dark growth, or even stimulate growth in the light, because blue-greens simply cannot adjust the levels of the enzymes of intermediary metabolism to accommodate any source of carbon other than CO2 or any sources of energy other than light.
