Near telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies of two Chlorella species unveil the composition and evolution of centromeres in green algae

Abstract Background Centromeres play a crucial and conserved role in cell division, although their composition and evolutionary history in green algae, the evolutionary ancestors of land plants, remains largely unknown. Results We constructed near telomere-to-telomere (T2T) assemblies for two Trebou...
