This study compares the molecular mechanisms of photosymbiosis in giant clams with corals, identifying conserved and divergent strategies in nutrient exchange.

This study compares genomes of symbiotic and non-symbiotic Palythoa species to investigate symbiosis evolution and palytoxin origin, finding that palytoxin likely originates from associated bacteria.

The paper uses genomic and metabolomics analyses to study secondary metabolite gene diversification in three Symbiodinium genomes, finding lineage-specific duplications and domain shuffling drive chemical diversity.
