    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...
