Figure 3. Comparison of G+C% calculated for ycf16, ycf24, rpl28, rpl33 and the ORF homologous to ftsY from the dinoflagellate minicircles with the G+C% of other minicircle genes and genes located in nuclear dinoflagellate genomes. Blue short arrows indicate G+C% content of (1) the unannotated ORF homologous to ftsY, (2) rpl33, (3) rpl28, (4) ycf24 and (5) ycf16. Genes 1–3 are located on the P. lunula AF490367 minicircle, whereas genes 4 and 5 are on the C. horridum AF490364 minicircle. The distribution for minicircle genes was calculated based on 85 sequences downloaded from GenBank, and the nuclear gene distribution was obtained from 265 sequences published by Kii et al.³⁵ and McEwan et al.³⁶
