Endosymbiotic gene transfer from prokaryotic pangenomes: Inherited chimerism in eukaryotes.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 18 Aug 2015

Abstract excerpt

Endosymbiotic theory in eukaryotic-cell evolution rests upon a foundation of three cornerstone partners--the plastid (a cyanobacterium), the mitochondrion (a proteobacterium), and its host (an archaeon)--and carries a corollary that, over time, the majority of genes once present in the organelle genomes were relinquished to the chromosomes of the host (endosymbiotic gene transfer). However, notwithstanding...
