Insights Into the Red Algae and Eukaryotic Evolution From the Genome of Porphyra Umbilicalis
Dr. Susan Brawley Professor School of Marine Sciences University of Maine Fossil evidence shows that red algae (Rhodophyta) are one of the most ancient multicellular lineages (1.6 billion years old). Despite their ecological, evolutionary, and commercial importance, few red algal nuclear genomes have been sequenced. This seminar presents results from the recently completed Porphyra […]
