Over 100 whole-genome sequences from algae are published or soon to be published. The rapidly increasing availability of these fundamental resources is precipitating a paradigm shift in the way we understand one of the most diverse, complex, and understudied groups of photosynthetic eukaryotes. Genome sequences provide a window into the functional potential of each disparate alga, with phylogenomics and functional genomics as tools for contextualizing and transferring knowledge from reference organisms into less well-characterized systems. Remarkably, over half of the proteins encoded by algal genomes are of unknown function, highlighting the volume of unique functional capabilities yet to be discovered. We provide an overview of publicly available algal genomes, their associated protein inventories, and their quality, with a summary of the statuses of protein function understanding and prediction.
