Figure 1

Nuclear transfer and loss of genes coding for thylakoid membrane complex proteins in cyanobacteria and eukaryotes. Chromera has experienced a greater degree of gene loss than other eukaryotic taxa. White squares denote plastid-encoded genes; gray squares, nuclear-encoded genes; black squares, absent genes. In Chromera both psaA and chloroplast atpB are split into two segments (indicated with an asterisk). E: protein sequence is derived from EST data. D: protein was directly sequenced. NM: protein is encoded in the nucleomorph.
