Analysis of EST data of the marine protist Oxyrrhis marina, an emerging model for alveolate biology and evolution
CONCLUSION: The dataset presented here has proven very valuable for studying this important group of protists. Our analysis indicates that gene redundancy is a pervasive feature of dinoflagellate genomes, thus the mechanisms involved in its generation must have arisen early in the evolution of the group.

Revisiting the evolutionary history and roles of protein phosphatases with Kelch-like domains in plants
Protein phosphatases with Kelch-like domains (PPKL) are members of the phosphoprotein phosphatases family present only in plants and alveolates. PPKL have been described as positive effectors of brassinosteroid (BR) signaling in plants. Most of the evidence supporting this role has been gathered using one of the four homologs in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), brassinosteroid-insensitive1 suppressor (BSU1). We reappraised the roles of the other three members of the family, BSL1, BSL2, and…

W. Ford Doolittle wins Herzberg gold medal, top Science prize in Canada
We are thrilled to congratulate our colleague Ford Doolittle for this exceptional achievement. Ford is one of the pioneers in microbial evolutionary genetics, well known for his contributions to discover and understand the importance of lateral gene transfer (LGT or HGT) in evolution. Ford coined the expression “You are what you eat” to reflect that …
