Popis: Extremophilic red algae have thrived in hot springs for more than a billion years. Here, the authors analyze chromosome-level assemblies from three red algal species, finding that horizontal gene transfer, subtelomeric gene duplication, and loss of genes or reduction in gene family size have supported key extremophilic adaptations.
