Importance of organism and transcriptomes | Pyramimonas parkeae, a unicellular planktonic quadriflagellate, belongs to the Pyramimonadales, which is sister to the Mamiellales but also shares an unusual evolutionary history with euglenids. Although sexual reproduction has not been demonstrated in pyramimonadalean species, encystment is a well characterized feature of this group, suggesting that sex may occur. Overall, its phylogenetic proximity to the well-studied Mamiellales, its shared evolutionary history with euglenids, and the potential for sexual reproduction make P. parkeae (and the Pyramimonadales as a whole) an excellent candidate for transcriptome sequencing. |
