The mitochondrial and plastid genomes of Volvox carteri: bloated molecules rich in repetitive DNA

BACKGROUND: The magnitude of noncoding DNA in organelle genomes can vary significantly; it is argued that much of this variation is attributable to the dissemination of selfish DNA. The results of a previous study indicate that the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of the green alga Volvox carteri abounds w...
