COMPARATIVE RATES OF EVOLUTION IN ENDOSYMBIOTIC NUCLEAR GENOMES

Comparative rates of evolution in endosymbiotic nuclear genomes

Abstract Background The nucleomorphs associated with secondary plastids of cryptomonads and chlorarachniophytes are the sole examples of organelles with eukaryotic nuclear genomes.Although not as widespread as their prokaryotic equivalents in mitochondria and plastids, nucleomorph genomes share similarities in terms of reduction and compaction.They
