Genome reveals how Amphidinium carterae boosts survival through gene duplication
Researchers have produced one of the most complete and detailed genetic maps ever created for a dinoflagellate — a group of microscopic algae that play essential roles in marine food webs and global ecosystem health. The new genome for Amphidinium carterae sheds light on how these tiny organisms organize and control their genes, challenging long-held assumptions about their massive and complex DNA.
