The paper identifies gene losses in Antarctic notothenioid fishes and links them to physiological adaptations to cold environments.

The paper compares the hyposaline stress responses of two diatoms to understand the genetic basis of salinity adaptation and freshwater colonization.

This study uses time-resolved transcriptomics to analyze the dynamic gene expression response of a euryhaline diatom to acute hypoosmotic stress and reveals distinct stages of freshwater acclimation.

The paper uses transcriptome and morphometric analyses to resolve the evolutionary relationships within the Nitzschia palea species complex, revealing reticulate patterns and hybridization.

The paper sequenced the genome of a nonphotosynthetic diatom to understand metabolic changes after losing photosynthesis and found key genetic constraints and alternative pathways for energy acquisition.

The paper presents an improved reference genome for Cyclotella cryptica CCMP332, enhancing its utility for ecological, genetic, and biotechnology studies.
