Monodopsis and Vischeria genome project
Members of eustigmatophytes, especially Nannochloropsis, have been tapped for biofuel production owing to their exceptionally high lipid content. While extensive genomic, transcriptomic, and synthetic biology toolkits have been made available for Nannochloropsis, very little is known about other eustigmatophyte algae. Here we present three near-chromosomal and gapless genome assemblies of Monodopsis (60 Mb) and Vischeria (106 Mb), which are the sister groups to Nannochloropsis.
