Microbial arms race: Ballistic “nematocysts” in dinoflagellates represent a new extreme in organelle complexity

We examine the origin of harpoon-like secretory organelles (nematocysts) in dinoflagellate protists. These ballistic organelles have been hypothesized to be homologous to similarly complex structures in animals (cnidarians); but we show, using structural, functional, and phylogenomic data, that nema...
