Functional Genomics Screening in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Maps the Genetic Landscape of T

Tim Godec's dataset contains results from a functional genomics screen investigating tolerance to the herbicides paraquat and diuron in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The 1.3 MB XLSX file, last updated in May 2026, maps nuclear-encoded pathways and nontarget-site resistance mechanisms. The study identified genes related to photosynthetic machinery assembly, intracellular trafficking, and metabolic energy conservation.

Use Cases

• Identify candidate genes for herbicide tolerance based on genome-wide screening data.
• Study nuclear control over chloroplast-localized photosynthetic machinery assembly mentioned in the description.
• Investigate nontarget-site resistance mechanisms, such as intracellular trafficking pathways for paraquat.
• Analyze metabolic strategies for energy conservation linked to diuron tolerance described in the study.

Strengths

• Dataset is 1.3 MB, making it a small and easily downloadable file.
• The description provides a detailed mechanistic context for the screening results.
• Data is available in the widely compatible XLSX format.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
