Dinoflagellates are prolific producers of polyketide compounds, many of which are potent toxins with adverse impacts on human and marine animal health. To identify polyketide synthase (PKS) genes in the brevetoxin‐producing dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis, we assembled a transcriptome from 595 millio...
