  • The evolutionary relationship between the Archaea and the Eukarya remains unclear. Here, Gribaldo and colleagues provide an overview of seven recent studies that investigate the problem but that reach different conclusions. Furthermore, they provide a framework for future studies.

  • Inferring ages of microbial lineages is particularly challenging due to a lack of fossil records for these organisms. Here, the authors show that lateral gene transfer can be used to date the tree of life.

  • A study of the duplicated genes in Paramecium tetraurelia suggests that after whole-genome duplication events, many duplicated genes are not able to immediately functionally diverge, because dosage constraints act on them. These dosage constraints also prevent loss of many duplicated genes after whole genome duplications.

  • The extensive genome reduction that is observed in bacterial endosymbionts is expected for species with small effective population sizes; however, similar reduction is observed in some free-living marine cyanobacteria that have extremely large effective population sizes. In this Opinion article, the authors discuss the different hypotheses that have been proposed to account for this reductive genome evolution at both ends of the bacterial population size spectrum.
