Importance of organism and transcriptomes | Compared to the other dinoflagellate species we nominated by this group of researchers, Amphidinium carterae has the following unique characteristics that makes it of high interest to sequence its genome-wide trasncriptome, 1) similar genome size (~3 gb) and similarly basal position in dinoflagellate phylogeny as Symbiodinium kawagutii, 2) free-living (unlike S. kawagutii), 3) produces toxins (unlike S. kawagutii), but the toxins are polyketide type (unlike toxins from Alexandrium), but different from the polyketide toxin produced by Karenia brevis, 4) photosynthetic with peridinin-containing plastid, 5) some EST data has been done, mainly full-length cDNA clones (~20,000 total clones, generated in the PI?s laboratory), which can be very useful templates for assembly of Illumina reads being proposed. |
