Line 13:
Both these groups of organisms - unlike the majority of eukaryotes studied to date - seem to have linear mitochnodrial genome. Most other eukaryotes that have had their mitochondrial genomes examined have circular genomes.
 
The branching order of this clade is only partly understood. The Colpodellids and the Apicomplexa appear to be sister clades as do the Perkinsidsperkinsids and the Dinoflagelatesdinoflagelates.<ref name=Leander2003>Leander BS, Kuvardina ON, Aleshin VV, Mylnikov AP, Keeling PJ (2003) Molecular phylogeny and surface morphology of ''Colpodella edax'' (Alveolata): insights into the phagotrophic ancestry of apicomplexans.

The Chromerida and the Colpodellida appear to be sister clades with the Dinozoa being more closely related to the perkinsids and the dinoflagelates.<ref name=Moore2008>Moore RB, Oborník M, Janouskovec J, Chrudimský T, Vancová M, Green DH, Wright SW, Davies NW, Bolch CJ, Heimann K, Slapeta J, Hoegh-Guldberg O, Logsdon JM, Carter DA (2008) A photosynthetic alveolate closely related to apicomplexan parasites.
