TL;DR: The results expand the known repertoire of ‘eukaryote-specific’ proteins in Archaea, indicating that the archaeal host cell already contained many key components that govern eukaryotic cellular complexity.
Journal ArticleDOI
PLAZA 4.0 : an integrative resource for functional, evolutionary and comparative plant genomics
Michiel Van Bel,Tim Diels,Emmelien Vancaester,Lukasz Kreft,Alexander Botzki,Yves Van de Peer,Frederik Coppens,Klaas Vandepoele +7 more
TL;DR: PLAZA 4.0 is presented, the latest iteration of the PLAZA framework, providing a large increase in newly available species, and offers access to updated and newly implemented tools and visualizations, helping users with the ever-increasing demands for complex and in-depth analyzes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The sequenced genome of Ulva mutabilis, a ubiquitous and iconic representative of the Ulvophyceae or green seaweeds, offers new opportunities to understand coastal and marine ecosystems and the fundamental evolution of the green lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI
A widespread alternative squalene epoxidase participates in eukaryote steroid biosynthesis.
Jacob Pollier,Emmelien Vancaester,Unnikrishnan Kuzhiumparambil,Claudia E. Vickers,Klaas Vandepoele,Alain Goossens,Michele Fabris,Michele Fabris +7 more
TL;DR: AltSQE as discussed by the authors was identified through screening of a gene library of the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum in a SQE-deficient yeast.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A reference genome is reported for the marine biofilm-forming diatom Seminavis robusta, showing that gene family expansions are responsible for a quarter of all 36,254 protein-coding genes and offering insights into the genetic diversity and gene functions in benthic diatoms.
