Implementation of set ratio for enrichment of gene sets in phenotypes as identified by surprisal analysis, an information theoretic approach – Out in Plos One

Posted onOctober 20, 2024

We published the implementation of the set ration in surprisal analysis on RNA-seq data, an information theoretic approach. The analysis allows the simultaneous meta-analysis of different sets of data mined on SRA together with newly generated data by explaining variation induced by strains and experimental Read More…

The plastid genome of Cladophorales green algae consists of short hairpins instead of a long double-stranded plasmid – Out in Current Biology

Posted onOctober 20, 2024

For a long time we failed to assemble a chloroplast genome in Boodlea. Now Andrea Del Cortona and Frederik Leliaert have finally established using long PacBio reads that the chloroplast genome is not a large circular molecule! An organellar genome that consist of small linear Read More…

Cell polarisation in the zygote of Dictyota dichotoma occurs in two-distinct phases and is partially maternally prepolarized – Out in Nature Plants

Posted onOctober 20, 2024

We have described cell polarisation in the zygotes the oogamous brown alga Dictyota. Unlike the zygotes of Fucus, the fertilised egg cell quickly elongates along a predetermined axis in the egg. The resulting cell has 2 poles, of which one will develop into the basal Read More…
