Microsporidia

[frederic-mahe]

There are seven sequences tagged as Microsporidia in PR2 4.12:

GU130407
EU589246
EF990668
GQ246188
GQ258752
JQ268567
KF830273

all with the following taxonomic assignment:

Eukaryota|Opisthokonta|Fungi|Microsporidiomycota|Microsporidiomycotina|Microsporidiomycotina_X|Microsporidia|Microsporidia_sp.

Using figure 1 from Bass et al., (2018), new reference sequences for Microsporidia could be added to PR2, with improved taxonomic assignments.

For instance, Bass et al. placed AB534337 in the "expanded Microsporidia" clade, and sub-clade "Laz X (Lazarus and James, 2015); 'Mitosporidium' (Corsaro et al 2016)".

Present assignment of AB534337 in PR2 is:

1         2            3     4       5        6         7          8
Eukaryota|Opisthokonta|Fungi|Fungi_X|Fungi_XX|Fungi_XXX|Fungi_XXXX|Fungi_XXXX_sp.

Assignment could be:

1         2            3     4            5             6                   7             8
Eukaryota|Opisthokonta|Fungi|Cryptomycota|Microsporidia|Microsporidia_Laz_X|Mitosporidium|Mitosporidium_sp.

Note that none of the seven sequence accessions tagged as Microsporidia in PR2 4.12 are present in figure 1 of Bass et al.
