Unexpected conservation of the RNA splicing apparatus in the highly streamlined genome of Galdieria sulphuraria

Abstract Background Genome reduction in intracellular pathogens and endosymbionts is usually compensated by reliance on the host for energy and nutrients. Free-living taxa with reduced genomes must however evolve strategies for generating functional diversity to support their independent lifestyles....
