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.

The genome of Ectocarpus subulatus - a highly stress-tolerant brown alga

This paper presents the genome and metabolic network of Ectocarpus subulatus, a stress-tolerant brown alga, and identifies features contributing to its stress tolerance.

Chromosome-level quality scaffolding of brown algal genomes using InstaGRAAL, a proximity ligation-based scaffolder

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