content, and for its capacity to fix atmospheric nitrogen through symbioses with soil-borne …

Sea anemones are seemingly primitive animals that, along with corals, jellyfish, and hydras,
constitute the oldest eumetazoan phylum, the Cnidaria. Here, we report a comparative …

Diatoms are unicellular algae with plastids acquired by secondary endosymbiosis. They are
responsible for ∼20% of global carbon fixation. We report the 34 million–base pair draft …

Lancelets (‘amphioxus’) are the modern survivors of an ancient chordate lineage, with a
fossil record dating back to the Cambrian period. Here we describe the structure and gene …

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important grain legume for human consumption
and has a role in sustainable agriculture owing to its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen…

Vascular plants appeared ~410 million years ago, then diverged into several lineages of
which only two survive: the euphyllophytes (ferns and seed plants) and the lycophytes. We …

The freshwater cnidarian Hydra was first described in 1702 1 and has been the object of
study for 300 years. Experimental studies of Hydra between 1736 and 1744 culminated in the …
