Nucleotide diversity in the mitochondrial and nuclear compartments of <it>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</it>: investigating the origins of genome architecture

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The magnitude of intronic and intergenic DNA can vary substantially both within and among evolutionary lineages; however, the forces responsible for this disparity in genome compactness are conjectural. One explanation, termed the mu...
