Footprints of parasitism in the genome of the parasitic flowering plant Cuscuta campestris
Parasitic lifestyles leave unique genomic footprints. Here, the authors describe the genome sequence of a parasitic plant, Cuscuta campestris, and find that gene losses and host gene acquisitions reflect the independence from photosynthesis and the ability to retain and express chunks of foreign gen...

| Sumario: | Parasitic lifestyles leave unique genomic footprints. Here, the authors describe the genome sequence of a parasitic plant, Cuscuta campestris, and find that gene losses and host gene acquisitions reflect the independence from photosynthesis and the ability to retain and express chunks of foreign genomic DNA. |
