Genomic evolution and ecotype divergence in thraustochytrids: insights from comparative genomics and phylogenomics by Yingying Wen, Xingyu Zhu, Jiaqian Li, Xiuping Liu, Qixuan Li, Guangyi Wang, Guangyi Wang

“…Understanding the mechanisms underlying their metabolic ecotype evolution is pivotal for revealing how these organisms drive the marine carbon cycle and adapt to diverse environments.MethodsIn this study, we report a high-quality genome of Aurantiochytrium sp. TWZ-97 and conduct a comparative genomics analysis of thraustochytrid strains to investigate ecotype-specific differences in genome structure, evolutionary-developmental relationships, and core functional genes.ResultsComparative genomics revealed that “anabolic” strains (TWZ-97, Mn4, SW8) possess larger genomes with lower gene density, whereas “catabolic” strains (S-28, S-429) have smaller, gene-rich genomes with stable repetitive elements. …”
