Importance of organism and transcriptomesPolarella glacialis is a common dinoflagellate of the order Suessiales that is found in marine high latitude waters, and as such its physiology is geared towards coping with low temperature and seasonally low light environments. Nothing is known about the genetic mechanisms that underlie those adaptations.
