Abstract excerpt
Haptophyte algae, including coccolithophores, play key roles in global carbon cycling and ecosystem. They exhibit exceptional morphological and functional diversity. However, their phylogeny is mostly based on short markers and genome researches are always limited to few species, hindering a better understanding about their evolution and diversification. In this study, by assembling 69 new plastid genomes, 65 new...
