Abstract | ?There is an important bias in eukaryotic knowledge, affecting cultures and genomes.?Eukaryotic genomics are biased towards multicellular organisms and their parasites.?A phylogeny-driven initiative is needed to overcome the eukaryotic genomic bias.?We propose to sequence neglected cultures and increase culturing efforts.?Single-cell genomics should be embraced as a tool to explore eukaryotic diversity. |
