commercial fisheries and incipient aquaculture 1 , 2 . Here we present the genome sequence of …

The widespread occurrence of repetitive stretches of DNA in genomes of organisms across
the tree of life imposes fundamental challenges for sequencing, genome assembly, and …

Current sampling of genomic sequence data from eukaryotes is relatively poor, biased, and
inadequate to address important questions about their biology, evolution, and ecology; this …

Marine dinoflagellates are the single most important group of algae that produce toxins, which
have a global impact on human activities. The toxins are chemically diverse, and include …
