Distinct genomic routes underlie transitions to specialised symbiotic lifestyles in deep-sea annelid worms

Distinct genomic routes underlie transitions to specialised symbiotic lifestyles in deep-sea annelid worms

Abstract Bacterial symbioses allow annelids to colonise extreme ecological niches, such as hydrothermal vents and whale falls. Yet, the genetic principles sustaining these symbioses remain unclear. Here, we show that different genomic adaptations underpin the symbioses of phylogenetically related an...
