Marine planktonic eukaryotes play critical roles in global biogeochemical cycles and climate.
However, their poor representation in culture collections limits our understanding of the …

Viruses are extremely diverse and modulate important biological and ecological processes
globally. However, much of viral diversity remains uncultured and yet to be discovered …

Environmental DNA surveys reveal that most fungal diversity represents uncultured species.
We sequenced the genomes of eight uncultured species across the fungal tree of life using a …

Understanding the diversity and evolution of eukaryotic microorganisms remains one of the
major challenges of modern biology. In recent years, we have advanced in the discovery …

Summary Endogonales (Mucoromycotina), composed of Endogonaceae and
Densosporaceae, is the only known non‐Dikarya order with ectomycorrhizal members. They …

Understanding the origins of animal multicellularity is a fundamental biological question.
Recent genome data have unravelled the role that co-option of pre-existing genes played in …

Marine planktonic protists are critical components of ocean ecosystems and are highly
diverse. Molecular sequencing methods are being used to describe this diversity and reveal …

Heterotrophic lineages of stramenopiles exhibit enormous diversity in morphology, lifestyle,
and habitat. Among them, the marine stramenopiles (MASTs) represent numerous …

Microbial eukaryotes (protists) are structurally, developmentally and behaviourally more
complex than their prokaryotic cousins. This complexity makes it more difficult to translate …

Diatoms are one of the most successful eukaryotes. There are over 100,000 diatom species
contributing nearly half of total algal abundance in the oceans. Diatoms have conquered …
