Source sentences:
text: Hence, cellular compartments of endosymbiotic origin may have been lost or replaced several times in eukaryote cell evolution, while the corresponding endosymbiotic genes (e.g., GapC1) were retained, thereby increasing the chimeric potential of the nuclear genome.
text: Compared with the yeast genome the fraction of protein genes with no assigned function is low, implying that well-conserved genes of established function were selectively retained during genome miniaturization, and confirming that the cryptomonad nucleomorph genome is indeed a concentrated repository of genes fundamentally important for eukaryotic gene expression (13).
