Sexual reproduction is a fundamental phase in the life cycle of diatoms, linked to the production of genotypic diversity and the formation of large-sized initial cells that ensure population persistence. It occurs only within cells below a certain threshold size and, in heterothallic diatoms, only between strains of opposite mating types. We aim at identifying genes involved in mating type determination in the marine planktonic diatom Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata. This species is recorded in coastal waters worldwide and produces the neurotoxin domoic acid. A reference genome has been generated and transcriptomes have been produced for strains of opposite mating type (MT + and MT-). Differential expression analysis provided a list of ca...
