Integrative single-cell sequencing and environmental metabarcoding reveals genetic complexity and hidden diversity of the dinoflagellate Tripos (Dinophyceae).

Abstract excerpt

The dinoflagellate genus Tripos is species-rich, containing many species that can cause harmful algal blooms (HABs). Although 800 species and infraspecific taxa have been described worldwide for this genus, only ∼10% are characterized and listed in AlgaeBase, due primarily to their pronounced morphological plasticity, highlighting challenges associated with Tripos taxonomy. Furthermore, the 18S rDNA V4 sequences...
