The genome sequence and gene models of Ectocarpus siliculosus have not been determined by the JGI, but were downloaded from NCBI, on October 26, 2017. In order to allow comparative analyses with other genomes sequenced by the Joint Genome Institute, a copy of this genome is incorporated into the JGI Genome Portal. Please note that this copy of the genome is not maintained by NCBI and is therefore not automatically updated.

Ectocarpus siliculosus
The brown algae are a group of almost exclusively marine photosynthetic organisms that are particularly abundant along rocky shorelines in temperate regions of the world. All the members of this group are multicellular. Ectocarpus siliculosus is a genomic model for filamentous brown algae.
