Abstract

Here, we present a 231 Mb draft genome of the centric diatom Conticribra weissflogii CCMP1336. Comparative genomics of C. weissflogii and other Ochrophyta support the existence of unique carbon-concentrating mechanisms and chitin metabolic processes in diatoms. The whole-genome project is available...

Abstract: Here, we present a 231 Mb draft genome of the centric diatom Conticribra weissflogii CCMP1336. Comparative genomics of C. weissflogii and other Ochrophyta support the existence of unique carbon-concentrating mechanisms and chitin metabolic processes in diatoms. The whole-genome project is available at CNSA (https://db.cngb.org/search/project/CNP0001903/).
