Glugea sp. infecting Sardinella aurita in Algeria
Parasitological examination of the commercially important pelagic fish Sardinella aurita Valenciennes, 1847 (Clupeidae) from the Eastern coast of Algeria revealed xenomas in the peritoneal cavity, suggesting a mi...

Site-and-branch-heterogeneous analyses of an expanded dataset favour mitochondria as sister to known Alphaproteobacteria
Determining the phylogenetic origin of mitochondria is key to understanding the ancestral mitochondrial symbiosis and its role in eukaryogenesis. However, the precise evolutionary relationship between mitochon...

Open AccessGenomics and transcriptomics yields a system-level view of the biology of the pathogen Naegleria fowleri
The opportunistic pathogen Naegleria fowleri establishes infection in the human brain, killing almost invariably within 2 weeks. The amoeba performs piece-meal ingestion, or trogocytosis, of brain material causin...

Open AccessGenetic tool development in marine protists: emerging model organisms for experimental cell biology
Diverse microbial ecosystems underpin life in the sea. Among these microbes are many unicellular eukaryotes that span the diversity of the eukaryotic tree of life. However, genetic tractability has been limite...

Protist Diversity and Eukaryote Phylogeny
The last quarter century has seen dramatic changes in our understanding of the phylogenetic relationships among protist groups and their evolutionary history. This is due in large part to the maturation of mol...

Open AccessAnalysis of EST data of the marine protist Oxyrrhis marina, an emerging model for alveolate biology and evolution
The alveolates include a large number of important lineages of protists and algae, among which are three major eukaryotic groups: ciliates, apicomplexans and dinoflagellates. Collectively alveolates are presen...

Lateral Gene Transfer and the Evolution of Photosynthesis in Eukaryotes
Photosynthetic eukaryotes comprise the most visible and massive fraction of the biosphere. They have contributed to sha** land, oceans, and atmosphere during the last 2 billion years and their influence domi...

Open AccessAlgal genomes reveal evolutionary mosaicism and the fate of nucleomorphs
Cryptophyte and chlorarachniophyte algae are transitional forms in the widespread secondary endosymbiotic acquisition of photosynthesis by engulfment of eukaryotic algae. Unlike most secondary plastid-bearing ...

A bacterial proteorhodopsin proton pump in marine eukaryotes
Proteorhodopsins are light-driven proton pumps involved in widespread phototrophy. Discovered in marine proteobacteria just 10 years ago, proteorhodopsins are now known to have been spread by lateral gene tran...

Open AccessA high density of ancient spliceosomal introns in oxymonad excavates
Certain eukaryotic genomes, such as those of the amitochondriate parasites Giardia and Trichomonas, have very low intron densities, so low that canonical spliceosomal introns have only recently been discovered th...
