A streamlined and predominantly diploid genome in the tiny marine green alga Chloropicon primus
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Tiny marine green algae issued from two deep branches of the Chlorophyta, the Mamiellophyceae and Chloropicophyceae, dominate different regions of the oceans and play key roles in planktonic communities. Considering that the Mamiellophyceae is the sole lineage of prasinophyte algae that has been intensively investigated, the extent to which these two algal groups differ in their metabolic capacities and cellular processes is currently unknown. To address this gap of knowledge, we investigate here the nuclear genome sequence of a member of the Chloropicophyceae, Chloropicon primus. Among the main biological insights that emerge from this 17.4 Mb genome, we find an unexpected diploid structure for most chromosomes and a propionate detoxification pathway in green algae. Our results support the notion that separate events of genome minimization, which entailed differential losses of genes/pathways, have occurred in the Chloropicophyceae and Mamiellophyceae, suggesting different strategies of adaptation to oceanic environments.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
