The biennial meeting on the cell and molecular biology of Chlamydomonas brings together those who work on this photosynthetic unicellular eukaryote and use it as a model system. This year s meeting provided an overview of the advances this organism has helped to make in areas ranging from studies of flagella to photosynthesis. One underlying theme was the status of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a model organism - what is it a model for and how appropriate is that model In some aspects C. reinhardtii most closely models plant systems in others mammalian cellular processes regardless Chlamydomonas is a powerful system for the study of a variety of molecular and cellular processes. This was the first meeting of the Chlamydomonas community since the completion of the nuclear genome sequence of C. reinhardtii. Dozens of groups have contributed annotation and curation to the genome database and browser developed at the US Department of Energy s Joint Genome Institute DOE JGI fine tuning more than 15 000 candidate genes that currently appear in the database. Simon Prochnik DOE JGI Walnut Creek USA reported on the current status of the genome project and the plans for the release and publication of this sequence later this year. A comparative phylogenomic analysis of C. reinhardtii with other sequenced genomes has examined the .
