Carbonic Anhydrase Gene Family in Brown Algae Saccharina sculpera

Eighteen carbonic anhydrase (CA) genes identified in the genome of the brown alga Saccharina sculpera, authored by Xiaole Li and last updated in May 2026. The dataset includes gene classifications, physicochemical properties, and expression patterns across developmental stages. It was published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Comparative phylogenetic analysis based on the identified α-, β-, and γ-subfamilies.
• Study of gene family expansion mechanisms based on the tandem duplication events identified.
• Analysis of gene expression regulation based on promoter cis-elements linked to light response.
• Investigation of temporal gene expression patterns based on RT-qPCR results across developmental stages.

Strengths

• Includes 18 identified CA genes with subfamily classifications.
• Analysis covers multiple aspects: gene structure, collinearity, phylogenetics, promoter elements, and expression.
• Provides a direct comparison to a related species, Saccharina japonica.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small (9.1 KB), indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
