This study examines genome reduction in diatom endosymbionts, finding key gene losses and positive selection in nitrogen fixation genes, suggesting early stages of integration with hosts.

This study examines how heat stress affects the development and photosymbiosis of Cassiopea jellyfish, finding reduced chlorophyll in algae, delayed metamorphosis, and abnormal ephyra morphology.

The paper uses long-read sequencing to reveal expanded mitogenomes in photosymbiotic bivalves, uncovering novel repetitive sequences and genetic elements in non-coding regions.

This study uses the giant clam genome to show how long-term photosymbiosis has shaped genome architecture and gene evolution in metazoans.
