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

The paper identifies glutamate methylation as a novel histone modification in diatoms and other organisms, showing structural effects on nucleosome stability.

This study examines how the polar diatom Fragilariopsis cylindrus regulates its epigenome during the polar night, showing stable repression of transposable elements through H3K27me3 and DNA methylation.

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

The paper provides the complete genome sequences and annotations of two Pseudomonas species from marine and terrestrial environments, available on BacBrowse.

The paper assesses genetic and transcriptomic diversity in 17 Phaeodactylum tricornutum accessions, revealing increased genetic diversity and novel clades, while showing no link between sampling year and diversity loss.

The paper introduces PhaeoEpiView, an epigenome browser for the updated genome of Phaeodactylum tricornutum, integrating DNA methylation and histone modifications for better biological interpretation.

The paper identifies and characterizes DNA methyltransferase diversity in marine microeukaryotes, showing that loss of DNMT5a leads to reduced DNA methylation and increased transposable element activity in diatoms.

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 uses whole genome sequencing of ten Phaeodactylum tricornutum accessions to reveal genetic polymorphism, structure, and functional diversity across geographic and temporal scales.

The paper integrates transcriptome data to annotate the Phaeodactylum tricornutum genome, identifies novel genes and alternative splicing, and explores the evolutionary origins of diatoms.
