Discussion

Nuclear sequencing identifies a diploid genome in Amorphochlora amoebiformis, suggesting ongoing endosymbiotic gene transfer and genomic diversity.

The nuclear genome sequencing reveals that A. amoebiformis has a diploid structure unlike other chlorarachniophytes.
A. amoebiformis's nuclear genome is approximately 214 Mb, indicating significant genomic architecture differences.
Analysis demonstrates that three-quarters of the nuclear genome contains spliceosomal introns, indicating a highly intron-rich character.
The findings suggest ongoing endosymbiotic gene transfer processes between organelles and the nucleus.
