FIG-1: Nephroselmis chloroplast genome. Genes located on the inside of the map are transcribed counterclockwise, and genes on the outside are transcribed clockwise. The inner circle shows where the SSC, LSC and IRs are. The thick lines on the actual map are the IRs. SSC=Small Single Copy; LSC=Large Single Copy; IR=Inverted Repeat.
