Comparative phylogenomics uncovers the impact of symbiotic associations on host genome evolution.

Comparative phylogenomics uncovers the impact of symbiotic associations on host genome evolution.

Mutualistic symbioses between eukaryotes and beneficial microorganisms of their microbiome play an essential role in nutrition, protection against disease, and development of the host. However, the impact of beneficial symbionts on the evolution of host genomes remains poorly characterized. Here we...
