This study compares local and wide genetic crosses in kelp to assess breeding effectiveness without introducing foreign genetic material.

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.

This study identifies conserved gene expression patterns across the life cycles of brown algae by comparing transcriptomes of gametophyte and sporophyte stages in multiple species.

The paper identifies three new H2A histone variants in Phaeophyceae algae using phylogenetic analysis, motif characterization, and epigenetic data.

The paper analyzes brown algal genomes to trace the origin and evolution of U/V sex chromosomes, revealing gene gain-driven evolution and the demise of these systems through hermaphroditism and gene hierarchy shifts.

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

The paper investigates the evolutionary origins of extracellular matrix polysaccharides in brown algae using genomic data and comparative analysis.

The paper describes the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) pilot project, which tests a decentralized model for producing high-quality reference genomes across 98 European species.

This study investigates the role of transcription and translation in the early development of Ectocarpus gametes by inhibiting these processes and observing developmental outcomes.

This study identifies the BASELESS gene as encoding a PP2A regulatory subunit essential for initial cell division and basal cell fate establishment in Ectocarpus.

The paper identifies 47 histone PTMs in the brown alga Ectocarpus, including a novel mark, and shows their stable patterns through the life cycle and association with gene expression.

The paper introduces instaGRAAL, a Hi-C-based scaffolder that improves chromosome-level genome assemblies for brown algae.
