Hello everyone,
I'm not sure if everyone has heard that the 1st CP to have its genome sequenced is Genlisea aurea! This has been mentioned superficially in a recent article, which actually focuses more on the fast speed of evolution in Utrics & Genlisea as well as the microbial communities living symbiotically within their traps:
In this article, there is a brief passage mentioning the metagenomic analysis of the microbial DNA sequenced with Genlisea traps. This was done with a 2nd-generation DNA sequencing technology called SOLiD. I'm sure future articles by this group will discuss the Genlisea genome in more depth. And I know of another group that is sequencing U.gibba as well.
All the best,
Fernando Rivadavia
