Happy to share our new preprint on this new platform:
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We designed new selection systems for the green seaweed Ulva and benchmarked different CRISPR/Cas applications to install targeted mutations.

🚨 New preprint out on diatom adaptation!

Using population genomics and transcriptomics, we investigated how the ancestrally marine diatom Skeletonema marinoi colonized, and adapted to, the brackish Baltic Sea 🧬🌊πŸ§ͺ - and found hundreds of genes under selection. Link below. πŸ‘‡
