New #ISEPpapers! Single‐Cell Transcriptomes and Phylogenomic Analysis of Uncultivated #Oxymonads: Morelia Trznadel et al. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13002328/

"Oxymonads are divided into five families in a classification that has remained more or less unchanged for 35 years, but the relationships of these families are unknown... Here, we carry out the first phylogenomic analysis of oxymonads that includes all five families."

Despite everything, Kricket continues to advance knowledge of this amazing single-celled organism. She has already discovered 3 new species, remarkable because only 13 are described. I would just love to help her get to the Marine Biological Laboratory this summer. #protists #Crowdfunding
