Nuance and Numerosity: Organellar genomes reveal intraspecific variation between four populations of Corallina officinalis (Corallinales, Rhodophyta)

In 2019 Imperial masters student Xueni (Linka) Bian conducted a thesis project to assemble, annotate and analyse the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of Corallina officinalis. Abstract I assembled both the mitochondrial and plastid genomes of four latitudinally widespread populations of Corallina officinalis. I sought intraspecific variation patterns across the two sets of four closely-related genomes, …
