TL;DR: The presence of both rRNA and rDNA sequences, taking into account introns (crucial for eukaryotic sequences), a normalized eight terms ranked-taxonomy and updates of new GenBank releases were made possible by a long-term collaboration between experts in taxonomy and computer scientists.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that eukaryotes form at least two domains, the loss of monophyly in the Excavata, robust support for the Haptista and Cryptista, and suggested primer sets for DNA sequences from environmental samples that are effective for each clade are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vertical distribution and phylogenetic characterization of marine planktonic Archaea in the Santa Barbara Channel.
TL;DR: Data suggest that marine planktonic crenarchaea and euryarchaea of temperate coastal habitats thrive in different zones of the water column, and that its members constitute a significant fraction of the prokaryotic biomass in subsurface coastal waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) to study the diversity of marine picoeukaryotic assemblages and comparison of DGGE with other molecular techniques.
TL;DR: The prasinophyte group appeared to be the most abundant group in the surface Mediterranean samples as determined by the authors' molecular analyses, and the DGGE method provided a reasonably detailed view of marine picoeukaryotic assemblages and allowed tentative phylogenetic identification of the dominant members.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping of picoeucaryotes in marine ecosystems with quantitative PCR of the 18S rRNA gene.
TL;DR: A quantitative PCR assay based on the use of SYBR Green I was developed to assess the abundance of specific groups of picoeukaryotes in marine waters and demonstrated that Chlorophyta and more specifically Mamiellales were important in these waters, especially during the winter picoplankton bloom.
