Sequence database for the single-copy, nuclear-encoded, core photosynthetic gene psbO

ABSTRACT: We have compiled a psbO sequence database for its use as phytoplankton marker gene (see Pierella Karlusich et al 2023 Molecular Ecology Resources doi:10.1111/1755-0998.13592). psbO is nuclear-encoded and only present in photosynthetic organisms (both cyanobacteria and eukaryotic phototrophs), mainly in one copy per genome. The database contains >18,000 unique psbO sequences covering cyanobacteria, photosynthetic protists, macroalgae and land plants. It includes sequences retrieved from IMG, NCBI, MMETSP and other sequenced genomes and transcriptomes, as well as from the environmental sequence catalogs of Global Ocean Sampling and Tara Oceans. The taxonomic assignment of environmental sequences of psbO was determined by the placement of their translated sequences on a PsbO protein refer
