Main features of euglenid plastid DNAs and their closest known relative.

aDoes not include intronic ORFs and pseudogenes.
bIncludes intronic ORF.
cDuplicated genes were counted only once. Free-standing ORFs are not included.
dTwintrons (introns-within-introns) were counted as single insertion sites.
eIncludes the rpoA gene reported in [15].
fThe orf103 annotated on the opposite strand of rpl14-rpl16 in Eta. viridis[19] is spurious and was not taken into account.
gAccording to the read coverage described in Wiegert et al. [19].
hThe Etl. gymnastica cpDNA features one intron in atpA, rps2, rps18 and two introns in psbC that were not reported in Hrdá et al. [18] (see Data S1 for annotation).
