Decoding divergence in marine protistan communities: from strain diversity to basin biogeography by Krinos Quinn, Arianna Isabella

“…I developed a pipeline for metatranscriptome analysis and taxonomic annotation to address the lack of tools built specifically for microbial eukaryotes, and created mock communities to assess recovery success in protistan metatranscriptome analysis workflows (Chapters 4 and 5). I applied these tools to a three-year metatranscriptomic dataset from Cape Cod Bay to investigate a recent emergence of a summer coccolithophore population in the 20-year time series, tracking shifts in nutrient physiology to identify potential bottom-up controls (Chapter 6). …”
