The genome sequence and gene models of Thalassiosira oceanica 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.

Thalassiosira oceanica CCMP1005
The diatom Thalassiosira oceanica is an important oceanic primary producer that is adapted to chronic limitation of the essential nutrient iron. Its genome of approximately 80 Mb haploid size was sequenced to 8.7x coverage in a Whole Genome Shotgun approach using Roche 454 pyrosequencing technology. Sequenced strain is Thalassiosira oceanica CCMP1005.
