Other claims from this paper (3)
- Method / resource The screen found numerous Nup homologues in plant genomes.
- Method / resource BLAST searches with identified plant and algal Nups failed to find nucleomorph homologues.
- Mechanism The authors infer nucleomorph Nup genes were lost and replaced by host Nup genes, or transferred independently to the host nucleus twice.
