The occurrence of positive selection on BicA transporter of Microcystis aeruginosa.

The rapid growth of cyanobacteria, particularly Microcystis aeruginosa, poses a significant threat to global water security. The proliferation of toxic Microcystis aeruginosa raises concerns due to its potential harm to human health and socioeconomic impacts. Dense blooms contribute to spatiotemporal inorganic carbon depletion, promoting interest in the roles of carbon-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) for competitive carbon uptake.

A practical comparison of the next-generation sequencing platform and assemblers using yeast genome.

Assembling fragmented whole-genomic information from the sequencing data is an inevitable process for further genome-wide research. However, it is intricate to select the appropriate assembly pipeline for unknown species because of the species-specific genomic properties. Therefore, our study focused on relatively more static proclivities of sequencing platforms and assembly algorithms than the fickle genome sequences.
