Nature Reviews Microbiology 15, 6 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.160 Authors: David A. Caron, Harriet Alexander, Andrew E. Allen, John M. Archibald, E. Virginia Armbrust, Charles Bachy, Callum J. Bell, Arvind Bharti, Sonya T. Dyhrman, Stephanie M. Guida, Karla B. Heidelberg, Jonathan Z. Kaye, Julia Metzner, Sarah R. Smith & Alexandra Z. Worden Protists, which are single-celled eukaryotes, critically influence the ecology and chemistry of marine ecosystems, but genome-based studies of these organisms have lagged behind those of other microorganisms. However, recent transcriptomic studies of cultured species, complemented by meta-omics analyses of natural communities, have increased the amount
