AgriLife Scientists do Groundwork for Genetic Mapping of Algae Biofuel Species
Devarenne and his colleagues have done some of the groundwork in better understanding B. braunii and sequencing its genome.
They are working the Berkeley strain of the B race of B. braunii, so named because it was first isolated at the University of California at Berkeley. The team has determined the genome size and an estimate of the B race’s guanine-cytosine content, both of which are essential to mapping the full genome, he said. There are also races A and L of B. braunii, but they were not looked at by the team.
