Abstract

Protists (unicellular eukaryotes) play important roles in marine ecosystems but are tremendously diverse and many remain uncharacterized. Deep-sequencing of a universal marker gene has helped resolve community composition patterns among rare and abundant protistan sequence groups in coastal European waters.

摘要

原生生物（单细胞真核生物）在海洋生态系统中发挥着重要作用，但种类极其多样，许多仍未得到充分描述。对一个通用标记基因进行深度测序，有助于解析欧洲沿海水域中稀有和丰富的原生生物序列组之间的群落组成模式。
