Mitochondrial cox1 and plastid rbcL genes of Gracilaria vermiculophylla (Gracilariaceae, Rhodophyta)
The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene sequence was recently developed for DNA barcoding of red algal species. We determined the 1245 base pairs of the gene from 27 taxa of an agar-producing spe...

Open AccessSingle cell genome analysis supports a link between phagotrophy and primary plastid endosymbiosis
Two cases of primary plastid endosymbiosis are known. The first occurred ca. 1.6 billion years ago and putatively gave rise to the canonical plastid in algae and plants. The second is restricted to a genus of ...

Phylogeography of the seaweed Ishige okamurae (Phaeophyceae): evidence for glacial refugia in the northwest Pacific region
Although benthic marine algae are essential components of marine coastal systems that have been influenced profoundly by past and present climate change, our knowledge of seaweed phylogeography is limited. The...

Reply to Hu and Duan (Mar Biol …): Insufficient geographical sampling could severely influence phylogeographic interpretations; comment on “Phylogeography of the seaweed Ishige okamurae (Phaeophyceae): evidence for glacial refugia in the northwest Pacific region” (Lee et al. 2012)

Chapter
Photosynthetic Paulinella: Recapitulation of Primary Plastid Establishment
The origin of photosynthesis in eukaryotes stems from a single primary endosymbiosis between a heterotrophic protist cell and a cyanobacterium that occurred more than 1.5 billion years ago. This proto-algal po...

Open AccessMinke whale genome and aquatic adaptation in cetaceans
Jung-Hyun Lee, Jong Bhak and their colleagues report the whole-genome sequencing and de novo assembly of a male minke whale genome, as well as the genome sequences of three additional minke whales, a fin whale, a...

Open AccessSingle cell genome analysis of an uncultured heterotrophic stramenopile
A broad swath of eukaryotic microbial biodiversity cannot be cultivated in the lab and is therefore inaccessible to conventional genome-wide comparative methods. One promising approach to study these lineages ...

Characterization of cetacean Numt and its application into cetacean phylogeny
The translocations of mitochondrial DNA into chromosomal DNA (nuclear mitochondrial DNA, Numt) are ubiquitous in eukaryotes including yeasts, plants, and animals. The features of Numt and the recent sequencing...

Open AccessDivergence time estimates and the evolution of major lineages in the florideophyte red algae
The Florideophyceae is the most abundant and taxonomically diverse class of red algae (Rhodophyta). However, many aspects of the systematics and divergence times of the group remain unresolved. Using a seven-g...

Open AccessReconstructing the complex evolutionary history of mobile plasmids in red algal genomes
The integration of foreign DNA into algal and plant plastid genomes is a rare event, with only a few known examples of horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Plasmids, which are well-studied drivers of HGT in prokary...

Genetic diversity hotspot of the amphi-Pacific macroalga Gloiopeltis furcata sensu lato (Gigartinales, Florideophyceae)
Genetic diversity patterns around the North Pacific received attention for marine organisms and have been used to infer biodiversity “hotspots” in the region. We conducted a phylogeographic study of the red alga

Open AccessPotential causes and consequences of rapid mitochondrial genome evolution in thermoacidophilic Galdieria (Rhodophyta)
The Cyanidiophyceae is an early-diverged red algal class that thrives in extreme conditions around acidic hot springs. Although this lineage has been highlighted as a model for understanding the biology of ext...
