PHYTOPLANKTON GENOME ONLY SEQUENCED IN 2013. A multinational 7 year effort yielded the genomic sequence of one important phytoplankton, in 2013. “A pan-genome has previously been seen only in some marine bacteria, organisms lacking enclosed nuclei. Ehux is a eukaryote—an organism with an enclosed nucleus, like all plants and animals. This is the first description of a pan-genome in eukaryotic marine algae.””
