Our project will focus on protists: unicellular eukaryotic microbes that are actually quite large — you can see them swimming around under the microscope. Research has been mainly focused on ...

Such protein data sets have helped resolve evolutionary relationships among photosynthetic bacteria 9 and eukaryotic protists 10. By comparing the open reading frames from finished or nearly ...

5 While cell walls are less common in eukaryotes, they are still present in plants, fungi and some protists. These rigid structures provide mechanical support, maintain cell shape and protect against ...
