The Diacronema lutheri NIVA-4/92 genome assembly and gene models have not been determined by the JGI, but were downloaded from NCBI on September 16, 2022. 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 669 models from D. lutheri and 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.

Diacronema lutheri NIVA-4/92

Diacronema lutheri NIVA-4/92, previously known as Pavlova lutheri, is the first sequenced Haptophyte genome from the taxonomic class Pavlovales. D. lutheri, a model organism for the study of algal lipid biosynthesis, was found to have a much more compact than the coccolithophore model species Emiliania huxleyi. (Hulatt et al. 2021)
