The role of symbiosis in bacterial symbiont genome evolution is well understood, yet the
ways that symbiosis shapes host genomes or more particularly, host/symbiont genome …

Organisms across the tree of life colonize novel environments by partnering with bacterial
symbionts. These symbioses are characterized by intimate integration of host/endosymbiont …

Genome structural variations, including duplications, deletions, insertions, and inversions,
are central in the evolution of eukaryotic genomes. However, structural variations present …

Auchenorrhynchan insects (Hemiptera) generally depend on two bacterial symbionts for
nutrition. These bacteria experience extreme genome reduction and loss of essential cell …

Reef-building corals and photosynthetic, endosymbiotic algae of the family
Symbiodiniaceae establish mutualistic relationships that are fundamental to coral biology …

Citrus production worldwide is currently facing significant losses due to citrus greening
disease, also known as Huanglongbing. The citrus greening bacteria, Candidatus …

Insects are incredibly diverse, ubiquitous and have successfully flourished out of the
dynamic and often unpredictable nature of evolutionary processes. The resident microbiome …

Due to the ecological importance of mutualism between reef-building corals and symbiotic
algae (Family Symbiodiniaceae), various transcriptomic studies on coral-algal symbiosis …

There is growing evidence that parallel molecular evolution is common, but its causes
remain poorly understood. Demographic parameters such as population bottlenecks are …

Facilitating the evolution of new gene functions, gene duplication is a major mechanism
driving evolutionary innovation. Gene family expansions relevant to host/symbiont …
