Pleurozium schreberi isolate:Blido Genome sequencing and assembly. Pleurozium schreberi isolate:Blido

Genome sequencing of the feather moss Pleurozium schreberi, a ubiquitous moss species playing a fundamental role in many terrestrial ecosystems. For instance in the boreal forest, P. schreberi plays a significant role in driving ecosystem nitrogen and carbon inputs and fluxes. The availability of P. schreberi genome will help to deepen our understanding in the evolution of land plants and provide the genomic resources to understand the physiology of this ecologically important species.
