Ciliate SSU-rDNA reference alignments and trees for phylogenetic placements of metabarcoding data [PDF]
Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, 2021 Although ciliates are one of the most dominant microbial eukaryotic groups in many environments, there is a lack of updated global ciliate alignments and reference trees that can be used for phylogenetic placement methods to analyze environmental ...

Evolution of a Planktonic Foraminifer during Environmental Changes in the Tropical Oceans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Ecological adaptation to environmental changes is a strong driver of evolution, enabling speciation of pelagic plankton in the open ocean without the presence of effective physical barriers to gene flow.

Genetic diversity of Entamoeba: Novel ribosomal lineages from cockroaches. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Our current taxonomic perspective on Entamoeba is largely based on small-subunit ribosomal RNA genes (SSU rDNA) from Entamoeba species identified in vertebrate hosts with minor exceptions such as E. moshkovskii from sewage water and E. marina from marine

Marine nematode taxonomy in the DNA age: the present and future of molecular tools to access their biodiversity [PDF]
, 2010 Molecular taxonomy is one of the most promising yet challenging fields of biology. Molecular markers such as nuclear and mitochondrial genes are being used in a variety of studies surveying marine nematode taxa.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 We reported a new microsporidium Neoflabelliforma dubium n. sp. from the adipose tissue of Diaphanosoma dubium in China. The infected daphnids generally appeared opaque due to the presence of numerous spore aggregates located in the adipose tissue.

The limits of nuclear-encoded SSU rDNA for resolving the diatom phylogeny [PDF]
European Journal of Phycology, 2009 A recent reclassification of diatoms based on phylogenies recovered using the nuclear-encoded SSU rRNA gene contains three major classes, Coscinodiscophyceae, Mediophyceae and the Bacillariophyceae (the CMB hypothesis). We evaluated this with a sequence alignment of 1336 protist and heterokont algae SSU rRNAs, which includes 673 diatoms. Sequences were

Increased sampling reveals novel lineages of Entamoeba: consequences of genetic diversity and host specificity for taxonomy and molecular detection. [PDF]
, 2011 To expand the representation for phylogenetic analysis, ten additional complete Entamoeba small-subunit rRNA gene sequences were obtained from humans, non-human primates, cattle and a tortoise. For some novel sequences no corresponding morphological data
