最新的一片文章报道测序了微单胞菌属两个物种.:Green Evolution and Dynamic Adaptations Revealed by Genomes of the Marine Picoeukaryotes Micromonas.
对应的有篇review,提到几个有意思的研究方向:
Compared with Ostreococcus, Micromonas has a richer set of nutrient transporter gene families(most of which are also found in landplants); Micromonas also contains a more complex suite of genes potentially involved
in combating reactive oxygen species and heavy metals.
研究nutrient transporter gene families进化关系,是自然选择重要,还是中性选择重要,or??
The two Micromonas genomes also have unexpectedly different gene and genome structures. For example, CCMP1545 genes have on average more and larger spliceosomal introns than those of RCC299, many of
which contain novel intronic repeats dubbed “introner elements.”
It is exciting to think that some of the smallest eukaryotes on our planet can provide key insights into the early history of multicellular green plants.
