Abstract in brief

  • The study presents the first nuclear genome sequence of Diplonema papillatum, revealing a large, complex genome with extensive gene family expansions and horizontal gene transfer, especially related to carbohydrate degradation.
  • D. papillatum appears to be a predatory organism capable of breaking down various cell wall materials from microeukaryotes and algae, which suggests its role in marine ecosystems and bioremediation.
  • The genome data will facilitate future research on cell biology, systematics, and evolution within diplonemids and related groups, as well as comparisons to pathogenic relatives like Kinetoplastida.
