produced from the shotgun sequencing of sperm DNA from ~200 partially inbred
males (11 successive sib-matings). Two distinct haplotypes were found
([[Denoeud et al., 2010|biblio/21097902]]).
+ - Other oikopleuid genomes have been sequenced by [[Naville and coll. (2019)|biblio/30880010]]:
+ small genomes are also found in _O. longicauda_ (131 Mbp) and _F. borealis_ (91 Mbp).
+ There is an apparent correlation between organism size and genome size:
+ _O. albicans_ (356 Mbp), _Bathochordaeus sp._ (396 Mbp), _O. vanhoeffeni_ (632 Mbp)
+ and _M. erythrocephalus_ (874 Mbp) all have larger body sizes than _O. dio._, _O. lon._ and _F. bor_.
- “No signal of synteny conservation is detected between _Oikopleura_ and _Ciona
intestinalis_. (...) _Oikopleura_ showed a local gene order that is
indistinguishable from random for distances smaller than 30 genes and a modest
