Connecting Species-Specific Extents of Genome Reduction in Mitochondria and Plastids
Giannakis, Konstantinos; Richards, Luke; Dauda, Kazeem Adesina; Johnston, Iain (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Mitochondria and plastids have both dramatically reduced their genomes since the endosymbiotic events that created them. The similarities and differences in the evolution of the two organelle genome types have been the ... -
Ecological Predictors of Organelle Genome Evolution: Phylogenetic Correlations with Taxonomically Broad, Sparse, Unsystematized Data
Giannakis, Konstantinos; Richards, Luke; Johnston, Iain (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Comparative analysis of variables across phylogenetically linked observations can reveal mechanisms and insights in evolutionary biology. As the taxonomic breadth of the sample of interest increases, challenges of data ... -
Evolutionary inference across eukaryotes identifies universal features shaping organelle gene retention
Giannakis, Konstantinos; Arrowsmith, Samuel J.; Richards, Luke; Gasparini, Sara; Chustecki, Joanna M.; Røyrvik, Ellen Christine; Johnston, Iain (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Mitochondria and plastids power complex life. Why some genes and not others are retained in their organelle DNA (oDNA) genomes remains a debated question. Here, we attempt to identify the properties of genes and associated ...
