The complete plastome of the coccoid green alga Jenufa minuta (Chlorophyceae, incertae sedis) unveils a noncanonical genetic code and a previously unrecognized trans-spliced group II intron in the rpl32 gene

The complete plastome of the coccoid green alga Jenufa minuta (Chlorophyceae, incertae sedis) unveils a noncanonical genetic code and a previously unrecognized trans-spliced group II intron in the rpl32 gene

We describe the plastome of Jenufa minuta, a unicellular green alga whose precise relationship with the Sphaeropleales (Chlorophyceae) remains uncertain. This 206,680-bp genome contains 100 conserved genes, 11 of which exhibit 16 group I and seven group II introns. We discovered a trans-spliced grou...
