Comparative mitochondrial genomics of cryptophyte algae: gene shuffling and dynamic mobile genetic elements
Abstract Background Cryptophytes are an ecologically important group of algae comprised of phototrophic, heterotrophic and osmotrophic species. This lineage is of great interest to evolutionary biologists because their plastids are of red algal secondary endosymbiotic origin. Cryptophytes have a cle...
