Abstract: Diatoms' chequered history Diatoms, a type of microscopic marine and freshwater alga, dominate the oceans and are responsible for about a fifth of the primary productivity on Earth. The complete genome sequence of Phaeodactylum tricornutum is reported in this issue, the second diatom to be sequenced. Comparisons with Thalassiosira pseudonana, the first, reveal that hundreds of diatom genes have been acquired by gene transfer from bacteria — or vice versa. Gene transfer appears to have been common during diatom evolution, creating unorthodox combinations of genes — including some from plants and animals — likely to play major roles in nutrient management and environmental signalling.
