Haplotype tagging sheds light on speciation between two divergent cryptic species of the brown algae Ectocarpus

The paper uses linked-read whole-genome data to study reproductive isolation and hybridization patterns between two cryptic brown algal species, revealing polygenic genome-wide barriers to gene flow.

Genome-wide association study of morphometric and metabolic characteristics in the European populations of the sugar kelp Saccharina latissima

This study performs a GWAS on sugar kelp to identify genetic markers associated with morphometric and metabolic traits, finding major-effect loci and polygenic traits for breeding programs.

Structural and evolutionary features of red algal UV sex chromosomes

This study characterizes the U and V sex chromosomes in red algae, revealing their evolutionary origin and structural features, and highlights their role in sex determination.

Wild and farmed Saccharina latissima in Europe: genetic insights for sustainable cultivation, traceability and environmental challenges

This study examines genetic diversity and structure of wild and farmed Saccharina latissima populations in Europe to assess gene flow risks and traceability.

Evolutionary genomics of the emergence of brown algae as key components of coastal ecosystems

This study analyzes 60 brown algal genomes to identify genomic innovations and evolutionary patterns that enabled their adaptation to coastal ecosystems.
