De novo genome sequencing of Skeletonema marinoi and Surirella brebissonii

De novo whole genome sequencing of the two diatom species Suri- rella brebissonii (CCMP2919) and Skeletonema marinoi (GUMACC St54) are currently conducted as part of the Linnaeus Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology (CeMEB) initiative at the University of Gothenburg. This work is part of the Infrastructure for Marine Genetic model Organisms (IMAGO) project, aimed at developing new marine model systems and provide genomic and genetic tools to study vital phenomena and components of coastal marine ecosystems.
