It is funny how @NCBI considers #protists a lost cause 😅 Thankfully we have @PR2database ✊ #goprotists

. @NCBI has a curated set of rRNA reference sequences (targeted loci) with verifiable organism sources and current names. 16S (Bacteria and Archaea), 18S (SSU) Fungi, 28S LSU Fungi, ITS Fungi. Download these from the BLAST db FTP area. go.usa.gov/xdEBX

Finally out, the new @PR2database site! Kudos to @daniel_vaulot for his leadership, hard work and skills that made pr2-database.org a reality. We have integrated in it the former @eukref site as part of our merger #metabarcoding #databases

4/4 Take-home messages: A great diversity of #apicomplexas is waiting to be described and integrated into our knowledge framework. #metabarcoding is a great tool to study parasites for ecology, medical or veterinary sciences, but please, use curated reference DBs 🙏 @PR2database

3/4 Gregarines (eugregarines and neogregarines) were identified as the most abundantly represented and widespread #apicomplexans in our analyses. We also reported the presence in environmental samples of well-known parasitic groups as haemosporidians, piroplasmids or toxoplasma

2/4 We describe a remarkable molecular diversity of this group compared with our current knowledge, especially when compared with that identified from described apicomplexan species (the average sequence similarity of our dataset vs described #apicomplexans is only 87%!!!)

@PR2database), which includes the largest apicomplexan SSU rRNA tree available to date (see below). We have been able to identify 12 novel clades and detect several taxonomic classification errors within well-known groups
