Vischeria cf. polyphem Transcriptome or Gene expression. Vischeria cf. polyphem

Eustigmatos cf. polyphem is a yellow-green unicellular soil microalga belonging to the eustimatophyte with high biomass and considerable production of triacylglycerols (TAGs) for biofuels, which is thus referred to as an oleaginous microalga. We conduct a transcriptome profiling analysis of E. cf. polyphem that has potential for production of biofuels and valuable co-products using Solexa/Illumina sequencing technology. The substantial amount of transcripts obtained provides a strong basis for future genomic research on oleaginous microalgae and supports in-depth genome annotation.
