The use of cultivation-independent approaches to map microbial diversity, including recent work published in BMC Biology, has now shown that protists, like bacteria/archaea, are much more diverse than had been realized. Uncovering eukaryotic diversity may now be limited not by access to samples or cost but rather by the availability of full-length reference sequence data.
使用不依赖培养的方法来绘制微生物多样性图谱，包括发表在《BMC生物学》上的近期研究，现已表明，与细菌/古菌一样，原生生物的多样性比人们此前认识到的要丰富得多。如今，揭示真核生物多样性可能不再受样本获取或成本的限制，而是受全长参考序列数据可用性的限制。
