Algae are a diverse, polyphyletic group of photosynthetic eukaryotes spanning nearly all eukaryotic lineages of life and collectively responsible for ∼50% of photosynthesis on Earth. Sequenced algal genomes, critical to understanding their complex biology, are growing in number and require efficient tools for analysis. PhycoCosm (https://phycocosm.jgi.doe.gov) is an algal multi-omics portal, developed by the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute to support analysis and distribution of algal genome sequences and other 'omics' data. PhycoCosm provides integration of genome sequence and annotation for >100 algal genomes with available multi-omics data and interactive web-based tools to enable algal research in bioenergy and the environment, encouraging community engagement and data exchange, and fostering new sequencing projects that will further these research goals.
藻类是一组多样化的、多系的光合真核生物，几乎涵盖了所有生命的真核生物谱系，共同负责地球上约 50%的光合作用。为了深入了解藻类的复杂生物学特性，测序藻类基因组的数量不断增加，这需要高效的分析工具。PhycoCosm（https://phycocosm.jgi.doe.gov）是一个藻类多组学门户，由美国能源部联合基因组研究所开发，用于支持藻类基因组序列和其他“组学”数据的分析和分发。PhycoCosm 为 100 多个藻类基因组提供了基因组序列和注释的整合，同时提供了可用的多组学数据和交互式网络工具，以促进生物能源和环境领域的藻类研究，鼓励社区参与和数据交换，并推动新的测序项目，以进一步实现这些研究目标。
