Systematic characterization of gene function in the photosynthetic alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Nature Genetics)
The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a useful model system to study photosynthetic organisms, as this single-celled species allows for more high-throughput methods than in multicellular plants, and many conserved pathways of interest can be identified. Here, Fauser et al. demonstrate the value…
