The Parachlorella Genome and Transcriptome Endorse Active RWP-RK, Meiosis and Flagellar Genes in Trebouxiophycean Algae

TL;DR: Pigment composition and gene expression in Rhodomonas salina are influenced by light spectra, with highest concentration of phycoerythrin in green light and potential regulation of other pigments and genes through feedback loops and post-transcriptional regulation.

TL;DR: Rhodomonas salina's pigment composition and gene expression vary in response to different light spectra, with phycoerythrin concentration highest in green light, but gene expression largely unrelated to light spectrum or photophysiology, suggesting post-transcriptional regulation and potential links to other physiological processes.

TL;DR: It is shown that a combination of hill-climbing approaches and a stochastic perturbation method can be time-efficiently implemented and found higher likelihoods between 62.2% and 87.1% of the studied alignments, thus efficiently exploring the tree-space.

TL;DR: A computerized method is presented that reduces to a certain extent the necessity of manually editing multiple alignments, makes the automation of phylogenetic analysis of large data sets feasible, and facilitates the reproduction of the final alignment by other researchers.

TL;DR: OrthoMCL provides a scalable method for constructing orthologous groups across multiple eukaryotic taxa, using a Markov Cluster algorithm to group (putative) orthologs and paralogs.

TL;DR: A brief summary of the current knowledge on oleaginous algae and their fatty acid and TAG biosynthesis, algal model systems and genomic approaches to a better understanding of TAG production, and a historical perspective and path forward for microalgae-based biofuel research and commercialization are provided.
