Genome compaction and stability in microsporidian intracellular parasites.

Current biology : CB - 25 May 2004

Slamovits Claudio H, Fast Naomi M, Law Joyce S, Keeling Patrick J

Abstract excerpt

Microsporidian genomes are extraordinary among eukaryotes for their extreme reduction: although they are similar in form to other eukaryotic genomes, they are typically smaller than many prokaryotic genomes. At the same time, their rates of sequence evolution are among the highest for eukaryotic organisms. To explore the effects of compaction on nuclear genome evolution, we sequenced 685,000 bp of the Antonospora...
