@hyphaltip @Mycicle1 @NCBI It is funny how @NCBI considers #protists a lost cause 😅 Thankfully we have @PR2database ✊ #goprotists

[Jason Stajich @hyphaltip]

. @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. https://t.co/RTQvY9uUkd

[ABiMS @ABiMS_SBRoscoff]

Due to internet connexion failure, the ABiMS plateform is curently unreachable. We are really sorry about this.

Finally out, the new @PR2database site! Kudos to @daniel_vaulot for his leadership, hard work and skills that made https://t.co/GihPcUuKOv a reality. We have integrated in it the former @eukref site as part of our merger #metabarcoding #databases

[Fabien Burki @fburki]

Very happy to be involved to help with the incredibly important community effort to provide a highly curated euk 18S database. Check out the new website too.

[Javier del Campo @fonamental]

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

[Javier del Campo @fonamental]

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

[Javier del Campo @fonamental]

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%!!!)

[Javier del Campo @fonamental]

1/4 Apicomplexan reference database (available now at
@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

[Javier del Campo @fonamental]

Have a look at our most recent paper at @FrontMicrobiol focused on the Diversity & Distribution of #Apicomplexans in host-associated & free-living environments using #eDNA https://t.co/7oenswBvh8 cc @pjkeelinglab @AncestralState @RMassanaM #parasite #malaria #toxoplasma Thread👇
