The sequence of the ribosomal RNA gene (#rDNA) plays an important role in species identification and phylogenetic analysis. This article amplified the complete nuclear ribosomal DNA sequence of #Blidingia_minima, carried out a series of genetic analyses based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and intergenic spacer (#IGS) sequences and used IGS to compare the homology of 10 different strains in the Yellow Sea. The findings indicate that the full-length amplified ribosomal gene provides useful information to enrich the data on green algae ribosomal genes and provides an effective molecular marker for the analysis of the interspecies and intraspecies relationships of Blidingia minima. #Intraspecies_Relationships
