Parsimony analysis of structural genomic features and phylogenetic analysis of chloroplast sequence data unambiguously resolved the Oedogoniales as sister to the Chaetopeltidales and Chaetophorales.

The complete cpDNA sequence of Oedogonium cardiacum (Oedogoniales) is described, which provides a clear example that novel genes were acquired by the chloroplast genome through horizontal transfers, possibly from a mitochondrial genome donor.

Character state reconstruction of basal body orientation allowed us to refine hypotheses regarding the evolution of the flagellar apparatus and two robustly supported major lineages within the Chlorophyceae were identified: a clade uniting the Chlamydomonadales and Sphaeropleales and the Oedogoniales, Chaetophorales and Chaetopeltidales (OCC clade).

The comparative genome analyses in a phylogenetic framework inferred an evolutionary scenario of the mutational events that led to changes in genome architecture in the Chlorophyceae, and suggested that the Stigeoclonium genome replicates bidirectionally from a single origin.

The GATK joint genotyping method for calling variants on RNA-seq data was validated by comparing this approach to a so-called “per-sample” method, indicating that both approaches are very close in their capacity of detecting reference variants and that the joint genotypes method is more sensitive than the per-sample method.

The results suggest that chloroplast genes rearrange more slowly in the Oedogoniales than in the Chaetophorales and raise questions as to what was the nature of the foreign coding sequences in the IR of the common ancestor of the Oesidiumes.

This study discovered that the conventional two-enzyme GBS protocol could produce a large number of high-quality genotypes provided that appropriate filtration criteria were used and qualified the PstI/MspI GBS assay as a low-cost high-density genotyping platform.
The Chloroplast Genome of the Green Alga Schizomeris leibleinii (Chlorophyceae) Provides Evidence for Bidirectional DNA Replication from a Single Origin in the Chaetophorales

- 5 May 2011
The results support the notion that these two chaetophoralean genomes replicate bidirectionally from a putative origin located in the vicinity of the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene.
