TL;DR: Multiple genome pooling and horizontal genetic exchange, together with selective inheritance of lipid synthesis genes and species-specific gene loss, have led to the enormous genetic apparatus for oleaginousness and the wide genomic divergence among present-day Nannochloropsis.

TL;DR: The first genetic transformation in industrial oleaginous C. pyrenoidosa is established, and overexpression of an NAD(H) kinase from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) increased cellular lipid content by 110.4%, yet without reducing growth rate, providing a foundation for exploiting the metabolic switch in microalgae for improved photosynthetic production of food and fuels.

TL;DR: A phylogenomic approach was employed to identify and functionally annotate the transcriptional factors (TFs) and TF binding-sites (TFBSs) in N. oceanica IMET1, and results form the basis of further experiments to validate and engineer the regulatory network of Nannochloropsis spp.

TL;DR: The genome-wide maps of transcriptional start sites (TSs) and post-transcriptional processed sites (PSs) for Clostridium cellulolyticum unveil a genome- wide RNA-encoded strategy controlling in vivo stoichiometry of protein complexes.

TL;DR: A data model to represent large-scale comparison of microbial community samples is proposed, namely the “Multi-Dimensional View” data model (the MDV model) that should at least include 3 aspects: samples profile, taxa profile and meta-data profile (V).
