Available online: “Auxin’s origin: do PILS hold the key?”! We find that PINs and PILS form two eukaryotic subfamilies within a larger bacterial malate transporter family warranting functional characterisation of algal PILS.

The genome of Ostreobium is out! The endolithic green alga Ostreobium is a key member of the coral holobiont. Iha et al. present an analysis of its nuclear genome and metatranscriptomes of healthy and bleached corals, providing insight into how Ostreobium thrives in the stressful Read More…
We wrote a review summarizing old and recent knowledge on our favorite algal genus concentrating on applications and economic potential of Dictyota and its metabolites. We summarized taxonomy, anatomy, cytology, available genetic data, life history, chemical composition, nutritional value, ecological and economic importance. Click for Read More…
We implemented set ratios (SR) in surprisal analysis to describe the contribution of pathways to the different phenotypes identified by surprisal analysis in RNA-seq data and applied the algorithm on RNA-seq data on an Chlamydomonas icl mutant deficient for the glyoxylate cycle.
