Quantitative detection of gut microbial eukaryotes with EukDetect2 reveals global distribution of commensal protists and association with distinct microbial community structure

2026-06-25

Abstract excerpt

Microbial eukaryotes are prevalent members of host-associated and free-living microbial communities, but are routinely excluded from studies of these communities. Existing methods for eukaryote detection from whole metagenome sequencing are limited by contamination of eukaryotic reference genomes and incomplete taxonomic coverage. Our previously published tool EukDetect addressed these challenges using a curated d...
