Proceedings of the SMBE Tri-National Young Investigators' Workshop 2005. Insight into the diversity and evolution of the cryptomonad nucleomorph genome.

Abstract excerpt

The cryptomonads are an enigmatic group of marine and freshwater unicellular algae that acquired their plastids through the engulfment and retention of a eukaryotic ("secondary") endosymbiont. Together with the chlorarachniophyte algae, the cryptomonads are unusual in that they have retained the nucleus of their endosymbiont in a miniaturized form called a nucleomorph. The nucleomorph genome of the cryptomonad...
