1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Microalgae including diatoms are of interest for environmentally friendly manufacturing such as production of biofuels, chemicals, and materials. The highly oil-accumulating marine diatom Fistulifera solaris has been studied as a promising host organism to be employed for these applications. Recently reported large-scale genetic engineering based on episomal vectors for diatoms could be useful to further enhance the potential of F. solaris, whereas we need to understand more the mode-of-action of diatom centromeres to rationally design the episomal vectors for stable extrachromosomal maintenance. Our previous genome analysis with pyrosequencing (short read sequencing) had generated the fragmented scaffolds which were not useful to predict centromeres on each chromosome. Here, we report the almost complete chromosomal structure of the genome of F. solaris using a long-read nanopore sequencing platform MinION. From just one single run using a MinION flow-cell, the chromosome-scale assembly with telomere-to-telomere resolution was achieved for 41 out of 44 chromosomes. Putative centromere regions were predicted from the 16 chromosomes, and we discovered putative consensus motifs in the predicted centromeres. Similar motif search had been performed in model diatoms, but no consensus motif was found. Therefore, this is the first study to successfully estimate consensus motifs in diatom centromeres. The chromosome-scale assembly also suggests the potential existence of multi-copy mini-chromosomes and tandemly repeated lipogenesis genes related to the oleaginous phenotype of F. solaris. Findings of this study are useful to understand and further engineer the oleaginous phenotype of F. solaris.
