Abstract excerpt
Unicellular algae of the class Mamiellophyceae are widespread in our oceans and their apparent uniformity conceals an impressive array of biologically distinct species. Each of the five complete genomes analysed so far reveals densely packed coding sequences, with strong evolutionary divergence from its nearest phylogenetically defined neighbours. These species lie at the base of the green lineage, but various...
