Genetic tool development in marine protists: emerging model organisms for experimental cell biology

Drahomíra Faktorová, +123 more
- 06 Apr 2020 - 
TL;DR: The development of genetic tools in a range of protists primarily from marine environments are reported on, providing a roadmap for developing genetically tractable organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogeny and Morphology of New Diplonemids from Japan.

TL;DR: Two new members of the genus Rhynchopus are described, which have their flagella concealed in trophic stages and fully developed in swimming stages, while they permanently protrude in all other known diplonemid species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene fragmentation and RNA editing without borders: eccentric mitochondrial genomes of diplonemids

TL;DR: A comparative study of mitochondrial genome architecture, gene structure and RNA editing of six recently isolated, phylogenetically diverse diplonemid species, finding Namystynia karyoxenos is the most extensively edited transcriptome described so far.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA Editing in Mitochondria and Plastids: Weird and Widespread.

TL;DR: An exhaustive phylogenetic overview of editing types is presented, finding a combination of higher mutation rates, relaxation of energetic constraints, and high genetic drift is found within plastids and mitochondria and is conducive for evolution and expansion of editing processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transformation of Diplonema papillatum, the type species of the highly diverse and abundant marine microeukaryotes Diplonemida (Euglenozoa).

TL;DR: This is the first documented case of transformation in a euglenozoan protist outside the well-studied kinetoplastids, making D. papillatum a genetically tractable organism and potentially a model system for marine microeukaryotes.
