The genus Stylocephalus Ellis, 1912 (Apicomplexa: Eugregarinorida) exhibits wide distribution and morphological diversity; however, species delimitation has traditionally relied on light microscopy. In the present study, a septate gregarine...
New draft genomes assemblies of Blastocystis isolates from subtypes 1 and 8 confirm conserved synteny, transposable element diversity, and provide insights into pathogenic potential [0.03%]
新型Blastocystis分离株（1型和8型）基因组草图的发布确认了染色体保守共线性，可移动遗传元件多样性，并为致病潜力提供了见解
