Evolution of dinoflagellate unigenic minicircles and the partially concerted divergence of their putative replicon origins.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Apr 2002

Zhang Zhaoduo, Cavalier-Smith Thomas, Green Beverley R

Abstract excerpt

Dinoflagellate chloroplast genes are unique in that each gene is on a separate minicircular chromosome. To understand the origin and evolution of this exceptional genomic organization we completely sequenced chloroplast psbA and 23S rRNA gene minicircles from four dinoflagellates: three closely related Heterocapsa species (H. pygmaea, H. rotundata, and H. niei) and the very distantly related Amphidinium carterae....
