Global environmental genomics reveals vast uncultivated protist diversity and taxonomic blind spots

Nature Communications · 2026-11-10 · 期刊论文

Protists, defined as eukaryotes distinct from plants, animals and fungi, comprise much of eukaryotic phylogenetic diversity and perform key ecological functions, yet most lineages remain uncultivated and poorly represented in reference databases. Amplicon-based 18S rRNA gene surveys have transformed protist ecology, but primer bias, PCR bias and marker length can limit recovery of divergent lineages. Here, we conduct…
