Haptophytes are important protists with underexplored genomic diversity. A nuclear genome assembly for the class Pavlovales has been successfully assembled, with Diachronema lutheri identified as having the smallest and most streamlined haptophycean genome. This genome provides valuable insights for investigating selective pressures on haptophyte genome evolution and the genetic basis of algal lipid biosynthesis.
Haptophytes are biogeochemically and industrially important protists with underexplored genomic diversity. We present a nuclear genome assembly for the class Pavlovales, which was assembled with PacBio long-read data into highly contiguous sequences. We sequenced strain Diacronema lutheri NIVA-4/92, formerly known as Pavlova lutheri, because it has established roles in aquaculture and has been a key organism for studying microalgal lipid biosynthesis. Our data show that D. lutheri has the smallest and most streamlined haptophycean genome assembled to date, with an assembly size of 43.503 Mb and 14,446 protein-coding genes. Together with its high nuclear GC content, Diacronema is an important genus for investigating selective pressures on haptophyte genome evolution, contrasting with the much larger and more repetitive genome of the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi. The D. lutheri genome will be a valuable resource for resolving the genetic basis of algal lipid biosynthesis and metabolic remodeling that takes place during adaptation and stress response in natural and engineered environments.
