| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The plastid and mitochondrial genomes were decoded and analyzed in the symbiotic dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium minutum. The papers showing these results were published (Mungpakdee et al., 2014; Shoguchi et al., 2015). The structures of plastid genome were fourteen minicircle DNA (1.8-3.3 kbp). Each circle encodes one gene, which was edited in RNA processing. The mitochondrial genome analysis reveals the conservation of non-coding RNAs between Symbiodinium and the apicomplexan, Plasmodium falciparum.
