Endosymbiotic Evolution: RNA Intermediates in Endosymbiotic Gene Transfer

Endosymbiotic Evolution: RNA Intermediates in Endosymbiotic Gene Transfer

More than a billion years of endosymbiotic evolution has resulted in extensive gene relocation between the genetic compartments of eukaryotic cells. A new study uses chloroplast genome transformation to shed light on the mechanisms involved.
