Chloroplast DNA sequence of the green alga <it>Oedogonium cardiacum </it>(Chlorophyceae): Unique genome architecture, derived characters shared with the Chaetophorales and novel genes acquired through horizontal transfer

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>To gain insight into the branching order of the five main lineages currently recognized in the green algal class Chlorophyceae and to expand our understanding of chloroplast genome evolution, we have undertaken the sequencing of chlo...
