We sequenced the chloroplast genome of Skeletonema pseudocostatum clone SZCZ 1832 from Algeria. The genome is 127,013 bp long. The inverted repeat region is 18,240 bp long and the order of the genes it encodes appeared as highly conserved when compared with other Thalassiosirales. The maximum likelihood phylogeny also evidenced the belonging of S. pseudocostatum within the Thalassiosirales. This chloroplastic genome is so far the first made available for the cosmopolitan and ecologically important genus Skeletonema.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
