This review commemorates the 40th anniversary of DNA sequencing, a period in which we
have already witnessed multiple technological revolutions and a growth in scale from a few …

Research in extreme environments has substantially expanded our understanding of the
ecology and evolution of life on Earth, but a major group of organisms has been largely …

The mobility of transposable elements (TEs) contributes to evolution of genomes. Their
uncontrolled activity causes genomic instability; therefore, expression of TEs is silenced by …

The high temperature, acidity, and heavy metal-rich environments associated with hot
springs have a major impact on biological processes in resident cells. One group of …

Rhodophyta (or red algae) are a diverse and species‐rich group that forms one of three
major lineages in the Archaeplastida, a eukaryotic supergroup whose plastids arose from a …

The ecological footprint and economic performance of the current suite of biofuel production
methods make them insufficient to displace fossil fuels and reduce their impact on the …

This paper compares three possible strategies for enhanced lipid overproduction in
microalgae: the biochemical engineering (BE) approaches, the genetic engineering (GE) …

Red seaweeds are key components of coastal ecosystems and are economically important
as food and as a source of gelling agents, but their genes and genomes have received little …

In recent impetus of phycological research, microalgae have emerged as a potential
candidate for various arena of application-driven research. Omics-based tactics are used for …

The limited knowledge we have about red algal genomes comes from the highly specialized
extremophiles, Cyanidiophyceae. Here, we describe the first genome sequence from a …
