P.1 left column: "The smallest documented dinoflagellate genomes are found in the coral reef symbiont Symbiodinium spp., ranging from 1.5 to 4.8 (average ∼3) pg DNA per haploid genome [primary source 6], while the largest (250 pg DNA per haploid genome) is found in Prorocentrum micans [primary source 7]. Equivalent to 3–245×10^6 kbp per haploid genome, dinoflagellate genomes are about 1–77 fold that of the human haploid genome, and greater than any other algal groups (∼13–200×10^3 kbp) by a factor of hundreds to thousands primary sources [6] & [7] refs [8]–[10]." |
