Plasmid-encoded anatoxin biosynthesis in benthic cyanobacteria

The paper shows that anatoxin biosynthesis in Microcoleus cyanobacteria is encoded on a plasmid, not the chromosome, suggesting increased mobility and implications for toxin evolution and environmental monitoring.

Genome-wide reconstruction of rediploidization following autopolyploidizationacross one hundred million years of salmonid evolution

This study reconstructs genome-wide rediploidization after autopolyploidization in salmonids over 100 million years, showing two waves of rediploidization and lineage-specific ohnologue divergence.
