Abstract The alveolates are composed of three major lineages, the ciliates, dinoflagellates, and apicomplexans. Together these protist taxa play key roles in primary production and ecology, as well as in illness of humans ...

Dinoflagellates have unique nuclei and intriguing genome characteristics with very high DNA content making complete genome sequencing difficult. In dinoflagellates, many genes are found in multicopy gene families, but the ...
