Abstract:Short-branch Microsporidia were previously shown to form a basal grade within the expanded Microsporidia clade and to branch near the classical, long-branch Microsporidia. Although they share simpler versions of some morphological characteristics, they do not show accelerated evolutionary rates, making them ideal candidates to study the evolutionary trajectories that has led to long-branch microsporidians unique characteristics. However, most sequences assigned to the short-branch Microsporidia are undescribed… Show more
