Eudorina whole genome project
Eudorina is the most primitive volvocine alga (Chlorophyta) with differentiation of male and female genders. Thus, genome information of the mating type locus (primitive sex chromosomes) of this organism will resolve molecular basis of origin and evolution of male and female. In order to delineate the mating type locus region within the genome, whole genome sequences  from male and female strains of Eudorina sp. were constructed.
