that end up inside of host cells for a long time (aka ) lose a lot of genes. In some cases these tiny can become unstable. One spectacular case of this is in cicadas. @noahspencer looked at what happens to of endosymbiont genes as their genomes erode and the dosage of genes becomes unbalanced. Here is a preprint showing what he found. Short version: these bacteria have almost completely lost control of their transcription!

Lucinid clams - use environmental sulphide for . But some proteins (sulphide-binding DsrC, metabolism-shunting GAPDH) are found in distant tissues, including haemolymph... how? @jillpeterplan

is an ancient bacterial phylum infamous for the human pathogen

All chlamydiae are that infect hosts ranging from to animals. Yet, they have drastically different genomes!

How did Chlamydiae and differences come about?

Hey there
I am a Postdoc with Thijs Ettema at Wageningen University and Research (WUR) in the Netherlands.

I like to spend my time looking into the ancient evolution of prokaryotic genomes, mostly Chlamydiae and Asgard archaea.
