We report here the 98.5 Mbp haploid genome (12,924 protein coding genes) of Ulva mutabilis, a ubiquitous and iconic representative of the Ulvophyceae or green seaweeds. Ulva’s rapid and abundant growth makes it a key contributor to coastal biogeochem... Read More about Insights into the Evolution of Multicellularity from the Sea Lettuce Genome.

Agrobacterium-mediated gene delivery and transient expression in the red macroalga Chondrus crispus (2018)
Journal Article
Ramessur, A. D., Bothwell, J. H., Maggs, C. A., Gan, S. Y., & Phang, S. M. (2018). Agrobacterium-mediated gene delivery and transient expression in the red macroalga Chondrus crispus. Botanica Marina, 61(5), 499-510. https://doi.org/10.1515/bot-2018-0028

Molecular resources and transgenic studies in red algae are lagging behind those for green algae. The Agrobacterium-mediated gene-transfer method routinely used in plant transformation has not been fully utilised in the red algae, which, as an import...
