TL;DR: Analyses of the Chlamydomonas genome advance the understanding of the ancestral eukaryotic cell, reveal previously unknown genes associated with photosynthetic and flagellar functions, and establish links between ciliopathy and the composition and function of flagella.
Journal ArticleDOI
Algae as nutritional and functional food sources: revisiting our understanding
Mark L. Wells,Philippe Potin,James S. Craigie,John A. Raven,Sabeeha S. Merchant,Katherine E. Helliwell,Alison G. Smith,Mary Ellen Camire,Susan H. Brawley +8 more
TL;DR: This work highlights this rapidly advancing area of algal science with a particular focus on the key research required to assess better the health benefits of an alga or algal product.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work explores an array of prospective redesigns of plant systems at various scales aimed at increasing crop yields through improved photosynthetic efficiency and performance, and suggests some proposed redesigns are certain to face obstacles that will require alternate routes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is found that nucleosomal DNA was more highly methylated than flanking DNA and that DNA methyltransferases preferentially target nucleosome-bound DNA, indicating that the relationships between nucleosomes and DNA methyl transferases are conserved.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is speculated that this latter process may be involved in altering the cell-surface characteristics of each species, and selenoenzymes, novel fusion proteins, and loss of some major protein families including ones associated with chromatin are likely important adaptations for achieving a small cell size.
