Maximum-Likelihood phylogeny generated by FastTree for Chlamydomonas eustigma NIES-2499 and other Chlorophyta

The Chlamydomonas eustigma NIES-2499 genome assembly and gene models have not been determined by the JGI, but were downloaded from NCBI on October 31, 2019. In order to ensure this genome is comparable to those sequenced by the JGI, we applied filters to remove if present: 1) transposable elements, 2) pseudogenes, 3) alternative transcripts and overlapping models, 4) alleles on secondary scaffolds and 5) unsupported short models. This resulted in the removal of 696 models and the generation of the FilteredModels1 (GeneCatalog) gene track. All published models are available in the ExternalModels track. Please note that this copy of the genome is not maintained by NCBI and is therefore not automatically updated. In order to allow comparative analyses with other algal genomes sequenced by the JGI, a copy of this genome is incorporated into PhycoCosm. The JGI Annotation Pipeline was used to add functional annotation to this genome.

Chlamydomonas eustigma NIES-2499

Chlamydomonas eustigma NIES-2499 (Archaeplastida, Viridiplantae, Phylum Chlorophyta, Class Chlorophyceae) is a green microalga isolated from acid mine drainage in Yokote, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, predominantly in association with acidophilic mosses. Comparative genomic analyses with the neutrophilic Chlamydomonas reinhardtii model green alga and other extremophile red algae have provided insights into adaptation to acidic environments.
