| In every organism, evolution and acclimation to environmental changes are orchestrated by numerous molecular players. Among them, transcription factors (TFs) play a crucial role by regulating gene expression. Therefore, identify TFs involved in the production of high value products is a significant step in a biotechnological context. The laboratory has at its disposal a mutant strain of the haptophyte microalga Tisochrysis lutea producing twice more storage lipids than the wild type strain when exposed to nitrogen deprivation. Given the key role of TFs in phenotype establishment, this PhD aim at identify the TFs involved in that of the mutant phenotype of T. lutea. A TFs identification and classification pipeline was elaborated and applied to T. lutea’s... |
