Mol Biol Evol 21:809-18. 2004..e., acritarchs) from the early Mesoproterozoic (1,500 MYA) and with a major eukaryotic diversification in the very late Mesoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic, provide a molecular timeline for understanding algal evolution...
Hidden biodiversity of the extremophilic Cyanidiales red algaeClaudia Ciniglia
Dipartimento di Biologia Vegetale, , Via Foria 223, 80139 Napoli, Italy
Mol Ecol 13:1827-38. 2004..We predict that future environmental PCR studies will significantly augment known biodiversity that we have discovered and demonstrate the Cyanidiales to be a species-rich branch of red algal evolution...
Phylogenomic analysis supports the monophyly of cryptophytes and haptophytes and the association of rhizaria with chromalveolatesJeremiah D Hackett
Department of Biological Sciences and Roy J Carver Center for Comparative Genomics, University of Iowa, IA, USA
Mol Biol Evol 24:1702-13. 2007..The association of the two Rhizaria with chromalveolates is supported by the approximately unbiased (AU)-test and when the fastest evolving amino acid sites are removed from the 16-protein alignment...

Department of Biological Sciences and Roy J, Carver Center for Comparative Genomics, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA
BMC Genomics 6:80. 2005..Previous analyses of these data have clarified plastid origin and here we study the gene content, annotate the ESTs, and analyze the genes that are putatively involved in DNA packaging...
Tertiary endosymbiosis driven genome evolution in dinoflagellate algaeHwan Su Yoon
Department of Biological Sciences and Roy J. Carver Center for Comparative Genomics, University of Iowa, USA
Mol Biol Evol 22:1299-308. 2005..These results underline the remarkable ability of dinoflagellates to remodel their genomes through endosymbiosis and the considerable impact of this process on cell evolution...
Migration of the plastid genome to the nucleus in a peridinin dinoflagellateJeremiah D Hackett
