An improved genome of the model marine alga Ostreococcus tauri unfolds by assessing Illumina de novo assemblies
...Published in BMC Genomics
BackgroundCost effective next generation sequencing technologies now enable the production of genomic datasets for many novel planktonic eukaryotes, representing an understudied reservoir of genetic diversity. O. tauri is the smallest free-living photosynthetic eukaryote known to date, a coccoid green alga that was first isolated in 1995 in a lagoo...
