Hologenome analysis reveals independent evolution to chemosymbiosis by deep-sea bivalves

Abstract Background Bivalves have independently evolved a variety of symbiotic relationships with chemosynthetic bacteria. These relationships range from endo- to extracellular interactions, making them ideal for studies on symbiosis-related evolution. It is still unclear whether there are universal...
