Using Pacbio, we show that the early-branching (you all know what I mean) dinoflagellate O. marina has its mitogenome spread across 3 "chromosomes" sized 16, 34, and 40 kbp.

Apicomplexans (dinos' sister group) have tiny mitogenomes with only 3 protein-coding genes and fragmented rRNA. Dinos also have 3 genes and frag'd rRNA, but genome organization was hard to pinpoint due to extensive fragmentation, redundancy, and recombination. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

As Burger, Gray, and Lang said a long time ago, ANYTHING GOES for mitochondrial genomes. And if anything can be weird, dinoflagellates make it weirder! doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...

Different types of organization of the mitochondrial genome across eukaryotes, including ingle and multiple, linear and circular chromosomes.
