http://genomebiology.com/2007/8/6/R99/comments The latest comments on the article 'Did an ancient chlamydial endosymbiosis facilitate the establishment of primary plastids?' 2008-06-23T14:50:42Z http://genomebiology.com/2007/8/6/R99/comments#305564 <p>Excellent article. I very much enjoyed the detailed discussion of alternative hypotheses and phylogenies. I didn't know about the chlamydial role on plastid origin until I read a recent article confirming and expanding the results presented here:</p><p>Moustafa A, Reyes-Prieto A, Bhattacharya D (2008) <a href='http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0002205'>Chlamydiae Has Contributed at Least 55 Genes to Plantae with Predominantly Plastid Functions.</a> PLoS ONE 3(5): e2205. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0002205</p><p>At the PLoS ONE site I have posted a comment/question (that of the title of the present comment), in case anybody can contribute to the discussion.</p> Cesar Sanchez 2008-06-23T14:50:42Z http://genomebiology.com/2007/8/6/R99 Huang et al.
