Abstract

The genome of Ectocarpus, a model organism for brown algae, has been sequenced. Brown algae are complex photosynthetic organisms that have adapted to life in rocky coastal environments. Genome analysis sheds light on this adaptation and reveals an extended set of light-harvesting and pigment biosynt...
