Thousands of mitochondrial genomes have been sequenced, but there are comparatively few available mitochondrial transcriptomes. This might soon be changing. High-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) techniques have made it fast and cheap to generate massive amounts of mitochondrial transcriptomic data. Here, ...

The ocean holds a bewildering array of microscopic life. Many of the smaller organisms are difficult to study or even to identify under a microscope. For this reason, scientists often look at the genes of these microbes to figure out ...

from Australian Life Scientist by Susan Williamson Hundreds of researchers from 61 institutions have contributed to a collaborative sequence-based ecological study that is attempting to get a handle on the microalgae that populate the sea. Unlike the prokaryotic bacteria, for ...
