Figure 1

Gene map of the linear mitochondrial genome of Paramecium caudatum. The transcriptional orientation of the genes is indicated by arrows. Putative protein-coding genes with unknown function (ORFs) are displayed in grey and the P. caudatum specific ORF ymf87 is marked with an asterisk. Intergenic spacers of >100 nucleotides are also shown, the numbers represent spacer lengths in bp.
