Research

Major research topics

  • Analysis of marine eukaryotic communities using metabarcoding (nuclear 18S rRNA, plastid 16S rRNA genes).
  • Diversity and oceanic distribution of marine phytoplankton, in particular green algae and pelagophytes.
  • Polar ohytoplankton communities and their adaptation to the long winter polar night.
  • Development of databases for the analysis of eukaryotic metabarcodes: PR2, pr2-primers and metaPR2 (in progress)

This paper presents a newly-assembled database of processed 18S rRNA metabarcodes that are annotated with the PR2 reference sequence database. This database, called metaPR2, contains 41 datasets corresponding to more than 4,000 samples and 73,000 ASVs.
