From Base Pairs to carotenoids: Unraveling the Genomic Landscape of different Dunaliella salina strains

In this groundbreaking study, we delve into the intricate genomic makeup of various D. salina strains. These genomic insights not only contribute to our understanding of evolution but also have practical implications. The D. salina organelle DNA sequences will aid in the development of a viable plastid transformation system for this model alga. Furthermore, they complement the forthcoming D. salina nuclear genome sequence, making D. salina one of the select few photosynthetic eukaryotes with complete genome sequences from all three genetic compartments.
