Chromosome-level genome assemblies of the red algae Porphyra dioica and Porphyra linearis

The paper presents chromosome-level genome assemblies for two red algae species, providing a framework for comparative studies and selective breeding in aquaculture.

Expanding the toolkit for ploidy manipulation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

This paper develops a method to engineer ploidy levels in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii using antibiotic markers and demonstrates the creation of diploids, triploids, and tetraploids.

Asymmetric genome merging leads to gene expression novelty through nucleo-cytoplasmic disruptions and transcriptomic shock in Chlamydomonas triploids

This study investigates gene expression changes in Chlamydomonas triploids resulting from asymmetric genome merging, finding expression dominance, proteostasis restoration, and enhanced fitness.
