Paralytic shellfish toxin content is related to genomic sxtA4 copy number in Alexandrium minutum strains

Dinoflagellates are microscopic aquatic eukaryotes with huge genomes and an unusual cell regulation. For example, most genes are present in numerous copies and all copies seem to be obligatorily transcribed. The consequence of the gene copy number for final protein synthesis is however not clear. On...
