The paper analyzes phenotypic data and performs genome-wide association studies and genomic selection for giant kelp to improve breeding programs.

SAMMBA is a high-throughput pipeline for isolating and phenotyping macroalgal strains, achieving high efficiency and taxonomic versatility with minimal cross-contamination.

The paper identifies genetic clusters and local adaptation in bull kelp populations in Puget Sound, suggesting WB populations could be suitable for genetic rescue in SPS.

The paper presents the first complete and annotated genome of Nereocystis luetkeana, a northeastern Pacific bull kelp, providing insights into its genomic diversity and evolutionary features.
