Fig. 5.

Synteny map of pelagophyte mitochondrial genomes. Whole mitochondrial genomes were linearized starting at the coxI gene and aligned using progressiveMauve. Corresponding synteny blocks are shown in the same color. Mitochondrial genomes of Aureococcus anophagefferens and Pelagomonas calceolata align fully along their entire length in a single synteny block. For simplicity, a single Aureoc. anophagefferens mitochondrial genome is shown and the ∼22-kb tandem repeat region unique to Aureoumbra lagunensis is shown below its linear map. Hash marks in an individual gene block indicates that a gene is particularly divergent and has been annotated based on the presence of an ORF, nucleotide alignments, and synteny to other pelagophytes.
