Genome Size Affects Fitness in the Eukaryotic Alga Dunaliella tertiolecta.

Current biology : CB - 7 Sept 2020

Malerba Martino E, Ghedini Giulia, Marshall Dustin J

Abstract excerpt

Genome size is tightly coupled to morphology, ecology, and evolution among species [1-5], with one of the best-known patterns being the relationship between cell size and genome size [6, 7]. Classic theories, such as the "selfish DNA hypothesis," posit that accumulating redundant DNA has fitness costs but that larger cells can tolerate larger genomes, leading to a positive relationship between cell size and...
