Open AccessOne high quality genome and two transcriptome datasets for new species of Mantamonas, a deep-branching eukaryote clade
Mantamonads were long considered to represent an “orphan” lineage in the tree of eukaryotes, likely branching near the most frequently assumed position for the root of eukaryotes. Recent phylogenomic analyses ...

Open AccessOphirina amphinema n. gen., n. sp., a New Deeply Branching Discobid with Phylogenetic Affinity to Jakobids
We report a novel nanoflagellate, Ophirina amphinema n. gen. n. sp., isolated from a lagoon of the Solomon Islands. The flagellate displays ‘typical excavate’ morphological characteristics, such as the presence o...

Apusomonadida
Apusomonadida is a small group of free-living heterotrophic flagellates. Apusomonads are small (~5–20 μm long) gliding aerobes with two flagella. The dorsal cell membrane is underlain by a pellicle, which also...

Open AccessParallel re-modeling of EF-1α function: divergent EF-1α genes co-occur with EFL genes in diverse distantly related eukaryotes
Elongation factor-1α (EF-1α) and elongation factor-like (EFL) proteins are functionally homologous to one another, and are core components of the eukaryotic translation machinery. The patchy distribution of th...
