Gene functionalities and genome structure in Bathycoccus prasinos reflect cellular specializations at the base of the green lineage.

7,847 genes, no transposons. Two “outlier” chromosomes are found with lower GC content, like in Ostreococcus and Micromonas. Genes in the big outlier chromosomes have a high number of small AT-rich introns with no apparent conserved motifs.
