Horizontal gene transfer in eukaryotic evolution
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT; also known as lateral gene transfer) has had an important
role in eukaryotic genome evolution, but its importance is often overshadowed by the greater …

OrganellarGenomeDRAW—a suite of tools for generating physical maps of plastid and mitochondrial genomes and visualizing expression data sets
M Lohse, O Drechsel, S Kahlau… - Nucleic acids research, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Mitochondria and plastids (chloroplasts) are cell organelles of endosymbiotic origin that
possess their own genetic information. Most organellar DNAs map as circular double …
