Figure 2: Phylogenetic analysis of the N. gaditana genome.
From: Draft genome sequence and genetic transformation of the oleaginous alga Nannochloropsis gaditana
(a) Schematic phylogenetic tree of stramenopiles and photosynthetic algae. The tree is adapted from Eisenreich et al.,43 and Tyler et al.60 Filled green circles on the right indicate photosynthetic species. (b) The tree indicates the relationship between different strains of Nannochloropsis based on 18S ribosomal RNA gene sequences. (c) Venn diagram representation of shared/unique genes of N. gaditana in comparison with brown algae, diatoms, red algae and green algae. (d) N. gaditana gene models were compared with all previously sequenced genomes in the non-redundant protein database using BLASTp. The number of times an organism was the top BLASTp hits (E-value less than 1E-3) of a N. gaditana gene model is indicated.
