Nuclear genome assembly and annotation for the phagotrophic green alga Nephroselmis pyriformis.
Article in Journal of phycology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Prasinophytes are a globally distributed, diverse polyphyletic group of photosynthetic green algae, displaying a combination of presumably ancestral traits for the Chloroplastida. The Nephroselmidophyceae is a prasinophyte clade comprising small biflagellate algae that includes the marine mixoplankton Nephroselmis pyriformis, which was previously shown to feed on bacteria, particularly under low concentrations of dissolved inorganic nutrients. Given its mixotrophic proclivities and phylogenetic position, N. pyriformis has the potential to provide insights into early green algal evolution and ecophysiology. In this study, we have presented a highly contiguous nuclear genome assembly for N. pyriformis. We acquired both Illumina and PacBio long-read data to assemble a 70.8-Mbp nuclear genome annotated with a total of 19,330 protein-coding genes. The genome is inferred to be haploid based on the base frequency distribution at variable sites, together with prior cell biological information from a related species. When compared with four other green algal genomes, N. pyriformis displayed a relatively large proportion of ortholog genes shared with the Chlorophyta. The nuclear genomic data presented here will be valuable for a range of studies, including green algal phylogenomics, genome evolution, and phago-mixotrophy.
