Genomes within a group of eukaryotic obligate intracellular parasites—the microsporidia—are changing very slowly, even as the genes within them are evolving at a "strikingly high" rate, according to a study in the latest edition of Current Biology. The evolution of eukaryotic genomes usually correlates with the rate of sequence evolution, but the results of this study show that genomes do not necessary evolve in a clock-like fashion, say the authors.
