Importance of organism and transcriptomes	Foraminifers are among the most abundant and diverse marine protists, characterized by granuloreticulopodia. Sorties sp. is classified within the order Milliolida and is part of the larger foraminiferans bearing dinoflagellate symbionts and inhabiting modern tropical and subtropical shallow water seas. They are also common fossils in Mesozoic and Cenozoic neritic sediments and are used in micropaleontology for stratigraphical and environmental analyses. They are important elements of coral reefs and other carbonate depositional environments, they constitute 15% or more of the skeletal debris associated with carbonate buildups and their carbonate production rates can be comparable to production rates of corals and calcareous algae. To date, the molecular data on this organism, and foraminifers in general, is extremely poor represented in the available databases. Our knowledge on the gene expression repertoire and metabolic pathways used by foraminifers is still very limited. Additionally, transcriptomic data has shown to be a powerful tool for finding orthologous genes for further phylogenetic analysis, in an aim to resolve the phylogenetic relationships among the group and within the Eukaryotes.
