No wonder it’s complicated to understand immune responses. We are part bacteria part virus too, more than we thought!
Congrats superToni and Gabaldón lab

Eukaryogenesis was likely a gradual process shaped by multiple microbial partners and virus-mediated gene transfer, rather than a single binary symbiosis.
