This study used bioinformatic data and modeling to identify universal rules that determine organellar gene retention.
Mitochondria and plastids retain their own small but essential genomes. However, the evolutionary pressures that determine whether a gene is retained in organellar DNA or exported to the host nuclear genome remain unclear. A new study in Cell Systems addresses this knowledge gap using bioinformatic data and modeling to identify universal rules that determine organellar gene retention.
