Novel Extrachromosomal DNA from Giant-celled Green Algae: Characterization and Utilization.
Abstract
The objectives of this document is to determine the fundamental characteristics and utility of novel extrachromosomal DNA in coenocytic/multinucleate marine green algae. This includes determining: 1) its complexity and what genes it encodes, 2) whether it is self-replicating DNA or chromosomal in origin, 3) its occurrence among different stages/isolates and the presence of homologous DNA in related genera of green algae, 4) its expression patterns, 5) its subcellular location, and 6) its utility as vectors for introducing foreign genes into algae and other green plants.
