Ectocarpus is a genus of filamentous brown alga that includes a model organism for the genomics of multicellularity.[1][2] Among possible model organisms in the brown algae, Ectocarpus was selected for the relatively small size of its mature thallus and the speed with which it completes its life cycle.[3][4] Tools available for Ectocarpus as a model species include a high quailty genome sequence[5] and both forward[6] and reverse genetic[7] methodologies, the latter based on CRISPR-Cas9.
