Extensive Copy Number Variation Explains Genome Size Variation in the Unicellular Zygnematophycean Alga, Closterium peracerosum-strigosum-littorale Complex

This study identifies genome size variation in the alga Closterium psl. complex as primarily due to copy number variation, with nonrandom distribution of CNV across gene functions.

Diversity of genome size and chromosome number in homothallic and heterothallic strains of the Closterium peracerosum-strigosum-littorale complex (desmidiales, zygnematophyceae, streptophyta)

This study compares genome size and chromosome number between homothallic and heterothallic strains of the Closterium psl complex, finding positive correlations with cell size and chromosomal variation within mating groups.
