Symbiodiniaceae Minicircles Reveal Coral Reef Algae Genomic Variation

The 14 minicircles mapped in *Breviolum psygmophilum* are not just structural curiosities. They reveal a chloroplast genome built for flexibility, where the relative abundance of these plasmid-like DNA molecules shifts between growth phases. This suggests a dynamic mechanism for gene dosage, a level of control absent in the single circular genomes of most plants. It is a compelling glimpse into the evolutionary toolkit that helps power the coral-algae symbiosis.
