Abstract:
Red algae are of interest for a number of aspects,
including their life cycles and reproductive biology,
as domesticated and cultivated species, as invasive
species, and for their characteristic cell walls. The
Rhodoexplorer project aims to explore the evolution
of biological complexity in the red algae through the establishment of a multi-scale genomic data resource
for the red algae, including public data and new
sequenced and annotated genomes. The
Rhodoexplorer project involves an international con-
sortium including partners at the Max Planck
Institute (MPI) in Tübingen (Germany), the Roscoff
Biological Station (France), the University of Sao
Paulo (Brazil), Universidad Austral de Chile (Chile),
the University of Alabama at Birmingham (USA), the
University of Charleston (USA), GEOMAR, Kiel
(Germany) and the University of Oldenburg
(Germany). The ABiMS platform has developed
a new web portal (https://rhodoexplorer.sb-roscoff.
fr) to house the annotated genome sequences and
associated resources, including genome browsers;
information about the sequenced strains; assembly
and annotation metrics; data download facilities;
and BLAST facilities. In the context of other local
genome portal projects, and of the European
Reference Genome Atlas project, in partnership with
two other Breton bioinformatics platforms, we are
setting up an automated, modular, and FAIR system
for the provision, visualization and processing of
large-scale genome data: the BEAURIS pipeline
(https://gitlab.com/beaur1s/beauris).
