TL;DR: The molecular dataset was expanded with representatives from 55 orders and all major lineages and the monophyly of classes Phyllopharyngea, Karyorelictea, Armophorea, Prostomatea, Plagiopylea, Colpodea and Heterotrichea are confirmed.

TL;DR: The present paper reviews issues relating to the taxonomy of ciliates and presents specific recommendations for best practice in the observation and documentation of their biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further analyses of variation of ribosome DNA copy number and polymorphism in ciliates provide insights relevant to studies of both molecular ecology and phylogeny

TL;DR: The present study estimates the intraindividual small subunit rDNA (SSU rDNA) copy number and sequence variation in a wide range of taxa covering nine classes and 18 orders of the phylum Ciliophora, indicating the need for careful consideration of SSU r DNA variation in analyses of the role of ciliates in ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disentangling sources of variation in SSU rDNA sequences from single cell analyses of ciliates: impact of copy number variation and experimental error.
TL;DR: The impact of four DNA polymerases on sequence variation is explored and it is found that low-fidelity polymerases exaggerate the estimates of single-cell sequence variation and using a polymerase with high fidelity is essential for surveys of sequence variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insights into the phylogenetic and taxonomy of philasterid ciliates (Protozoa, Ciliophora, Scuticociliatia) based on analyses of multiple molecular markers.
TL;DR: 48 new sequences for three linked genes are characterized and phylogenetic trees are constructed to assess the inter- and intra-generic relationships of philasterids, revealing that the combined three-gene tree provides more resolution in nodes than in the SSU-rDNA topologies.
