Abstract excerpt
The green unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, also called 'green yeast', emerged in the past years as a model organism for specific scientific questions such as chloroplast biogenesis and function, the composition of the flagella including its basal apparatus, or the mechanism of the circadian clock. Sequencing of its chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes have already been completed and a first draft of...
