The 100 Diatom Genomes Project
Abstract
One hundred diatom species have been selected for genome and transcriptome sequencing. The 100 Diatom Genomes Project aims to provide a scalable framework for understanding diatom biodiversity, ecology and evolution, and for investigating their use in biotechnology. This Community Page presents the 100 Diatom Genomes Project, which aims to sequence the genomes and transcriptomes of 100 diatom species across major lineages, life forms and ecological strategies. This resource will provide a scalable framework for understanding diatom biodiversity, ecology and evolution, and for investigating their use in biotechnology.
