KnowraEndosymbiotic gene transferLinked fromLinked fromThe 9 pages that link to Endosymbiotic gene transfer, each with the reason it gives.All 9Broader topic 1Related 7Compared with 1Horizontal gene transferBroader topic: This specialized transfer has shaped plant and animal genomes over evolutionary time.Endosymbiotic theoryRelated: Gene transfer helps explain why modern organelles depend on proteins encoded in the nucleus.EndosymbiosisRelated: Gene transfer is one way an endosymbiont becomes dependent on its host.Secondary endosymbiosisRelated: Transferred algal genes can encode proteins that are imported back into the plastid.Primary endosymbiosisRelated: Gene transfer helped make the engulfed bacterium dependent on its eukaryotic host.Last universal common ancestorCompared with: It explains some shared eukaryotic genes without placing their origin in LUCA.ChromalveolataRelated: Transferred genes can obscure plastid origins and complicate tests of a common chromalveolate ancestor.GlaucophyteRelated: Gene transfers from the ancestral cyanobacterium helped make the glaucophyte plastid dependent on its host.Plastid DNARelated: Many ancestral plastid genes no longer reside in plastid DNA.
