Diatom Endosymbionts have Shrinking but Stable Genomes Despite Low Coding Density

Heidi E. Abresch, Sophia Miller, Forest Cruse…·Scott R. Miller

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.
