Obligate Endosymbiosis Explains Genome Expansion During Eukaryogenesis
S. H. von der Dunk, P. Hogeweg, B. Snel
This paper constructs an evolutionary model of obligate endosymbiosis to study how it impacts genome evolution and cell-cycle coordination, finding that large host genomes and small symbiont genomes perform best over long timescales.
