  • Title: Plastid evolution: remnant algal genes in ciliates.
    Author: Archibald JM.
    Journal: Curr Biol; 2008 Aug 05; 18(15):R663-R665. PubMed ID: 18682209.
    Abstract:
    Determination of the number of times that plastids have been gained and lost during eukaryotic evolution has proven difficult. A recent study has uncovered what could be the molecular signature of a photosynthetic ancestry for an important plastid-lacking lineage of microbial eukaryotes--the ciliates.
