The paper identifies uncharacterized lineages within Holozoa and Opisthokonta, highlighting gaps in sampling diversity for understanding animal origins.

OligoN-design designs taxon-specific oligonucleotides from target and non-target sequences, outperforming existing tools by handling large datasets efficiently.

This study analyzes gene functional repertoires across Amoebozoa, Fungi, and Metazoa to reveal distinct evolutionary trajectories, showing Amoebozoa retained ancestral gene functions while Fungi and Metazoa specialized in metabolism and multicellularity.

The paper describes two new Telonemia species, highlights morphological and phylogenetic differences, and provides insights into their biology and evolutionary significance.

This study shows protists have stronger and more recent oceanic genetic structure than Archaeplastida and Metazoa, suggesting human-mediated dispersal influences their distribution.

The paper identifies freshwater and terrestrial environments as diversity hotspots for short-branch Microsporidia to guide future sampling efforts.

This study investigates the relationship between protist metabarcoding OTUs and metagenome-assembled genomes by analyzing their abundance correlations across environmental samples.

EukRibo provides a curated 18S rDNA database for accurate taxonomic annotation of environmental metabarcoding data, focusing on eukaryotic diversity.
