Changes in gene expression in eukaryotic phytoplankton at the Atlantic-Arctic polar front

The paper analyzes metatranscriptomes across a North Atlantic-Arctic gradient, finding differential and convergent gene expression changes in eukaryotic phytoplankton at the polar front.

A genomics approach reveals the global genetic polymorphism, structure and functional diversity of ten accessions of the marine model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum

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

Integrative analysis of large scale transcriptome data draws a comprehensive functional landscape of Phaeodactylum tricornutum genome and evolutionary origin of diatoms

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