Abstract: | The existence of the cluster of duplicated sit silicon transporter genes in the chromosome of the diatom Synedra acus subsp. radians was shown for the first time. Earlier, the localization of sit genes in the same chromosome and cluster formation caused by gene duplication was shown only for the marine raphid pennate diatom P. tricornutum. Only non-clustered sit genes were found in the genomes of other diatoms. It is reasonable to assume that sit tandem (sit-td) and sit triplet (sit-tri) genes of S. acus subsp. radians occurred as a result of gene duplication followed by divergence of gene copies. |
