text: The molecular phylogenetic analyses published so far (e.g., SSU rDNA, LSU rDNA, ß-tubulin, and Hsp90), plus the absence of a dinokaryon in the trophont stage, have suggested that Noctiluca is an early diverging lineage of dinoflagellates that retained several ancestral states for the group as a whole (Litaker et al. 1999; Fukuda and Endoh 2008; Ki 2010; Gómez et al. 2010).
text: Molecular phylogenetic analyses of rDNA sequences and heat shock protein gene (Hsp90) sequences plus the absence of a dinokaryon in the trophont stage suggested that Noctiluca was an early diverging lineage of dinoflagellates that retained several ancestral states for the group as a whole (e.g., a pre-dinokaryotic nucleus) –.
