Causes and Effects of Loss of Classical Nonhomologous End Joining Pathway in Parasitic Eukaryotes
Parasites tend to evolve small and compact genomes, generally endowed with a high mutation rate, compared with those of their free-living relatives. However, the mechanisms by which they achieve these features, independently in unrelated lineages, remain largely unknown. We argue that the loss of th...
