Genome-wide functional divergence after the symbiosis of proteobacteria with insects unraveled through a novel computational approach.

PLoS computational biology - 1 Apr 2009

Toft Christina, Williams Tom A, Fares Mario A

Abstract excerpt

Symbiosis has been among the most important evolutionary steps to generate biological complexity. The establishment of symbiosis required an intimate metabolic link between biological systems with different complexity levels. The strict endo-cellular symbiotic bacteria of insects are beautiful examples of the metabolic coupling between organisms belonging to different kingdoms, a eukaryote and a prokaryote. The...
