The dinoflagellates are an ecologically important group of microbial eukaryotes that have
evolved many novel genomic characteristics. They possess some of the largest nuclear …

This review assesses and examines the work conducted to date concerning host and
parasite interactions between marine bivalve molluscs and protozoan parasites, belonging …

Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

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 …

The phylum of dinoflagellates is characterized by many unusual and interesting genomic
and physiological features, the imprint of which, in its immense genome, remains elusive …

Trans‐splicing is the joining together of portions of two separate pre‐mRNA molecules. The
two distinct categories of spliceosomal trans‐splicing are genic trans‐splicing, which joins …

The chromalveolate “supergroup” is of key interest in contemporary phycology, as it contains
the overwhelming majority of extant algal species, including several phyla of key importance …

Abstract Background The Apicomplexa constitute an evolutionarily divergent phylum of
protozoan pathogens responsible for widespread parasitic diseases such as malaria and …

Single-celled parasites like Entamoeba, Trypanosoma, Phytophthora and Plasmodium
wreak untold havoc on human habitat and health. Understanding the position of the various …

Microalgae have gained the attention of the scientific community, particularly lipid
biochemists and microalgal biotechnologists, as a source of valuable nutritional ingredients …
