The new tree of eukaryotes
For 15 years, the eukaryote Tree of Life (eToL) has been divided into five to eight major
groupings, known as 'supergroups'. However, the tree has been profoundly rearranged …

Mixotrophic protists and a new paradigm for marine ecology: where does plankton research go now?
Many protist plankton are mixotrophs, combining phototrophy and phagotrophy. Their role in
freshwater and marine ecology has emerged as a major developing feature of plankton …

A phylogenomic framework to study the diversity and evolution of stramenopiles (= heterokonts)
Stramenopiles or heterokonts constitute one of the most speciose and diverse clades of
protists. It includes ecologically important algae (such as diatoms or large multicellular …

Hemimastigophora is a novel supra-kingdom-level lineage of eukaryotes
Almost all eukaryote life forms have now been placed within one of five to eight supra-
kingdom-level groups using molecular phylogenetics,,–. The 'phylum'Hemimastigophora is …

[HTML][HTML] Designing and interpreting 'multi-omic'experiments that may change our understanding of biology
Most biological mechanisms involve more than one type of biomolecule, and hence operate
not solely at the level of either genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome or ionome …
