Organellar genome analysis of the marine red alga Dasya binghamiae (Dasyaceae, Rhodophyta) reveals an uncharacteristic florideophyte mitogenome structure

Abstract

Analysis of the marine red algal species Dasya binghamiae A.J.K. Millar using paired-end 36 bp Illumina sequences resulted in the assembly of its complete mitochondrial and plastid genomes. The mitogenome is 26,052 bp in length and contains 46 genes, and the plastome is 177,213 bp with 228 genes. The plastid genome shows high gene synteny with previously published Florideophyceae; however, the mitogenome contains several multigene rearrangements. These organellar data confirm the placement of D. binghamiae in Dasya C. Agardh.
