Introduction
• 15 diatom plastid genome sequenced
• Gene loss/ duplication/ transfer
• Variable plastid genome sizes
• Extensive genome rearrangement
Why Thalassiosirales?
• Reasonably dense phylogeny known
• Environmentally –driven petF transfer from plastid to nucleus reported
in T. oceanica (Lommer et al, 2010)
• 2 plastid genomes published
Cyclotella nana (formerly T. pseudonana) & T. oceanica
Gene content and genome size more similar within Thalassiosirales?
Gene order more conserved within Thalassiosirales?
Rhizosolenia imbricata
Chaetoceros simplex
Cerataulina daemon
Roundia cardiophora
Thalassiosira weissflogii
Cyclotella sp. L04_2
Cyclotella sp. WC03_2

Conclusion
•
Gene content more conserved within the Thalassiosirales plastid genomes
•
Gene order within Thalassiosirales highly conserved, except for extensive
genome rearrangement in T.oceanica.
•
Cy. nana, T. weissflogii and Ro. cardiophora share an identical gene order,
which is inferred to be the ancestral order for the Thalassiosirales
•
The larger size of the Thalassiosirales plastid genome is largely due to
expansion of inverted repeat.
•
Missing of psaE, psaI, psaM represents first documented instance of the
loss of photosynthetic genes in diatom plastid genome
