This revision of the classification of eukaryotes retains an emphasis on the protists and incorporates changes since 2005 that have resolved nodes and branches in phylogenetic trees.

The presence of both rRNA and rDNA sequences, taking into account introns (crucial for eukaryotic sequences), a normalized eight terms ranked-taxonomy and updates of new GenBank releases were made possible by a long-term collaboration between experts in taxonomy and computer scientists.
Phylogenomics Reshuffles the Eukaryotic Supergroups

- 29 August 2007
This work reports the sequencing of expressed sequence tags for two species belonging to the supergroup Rhizaria and presents the analysis of a unique dataset combining 29908 amino acid positions and an extensive taxa sampling made of 49 mainly unicellular species representative of all supergroups.

Most Proterozoic fossils of possible eukaryotic origin cannot be confidently assigned to extant lineages and should therefore not be used as calibration points in molecular dating.
Phylogenomics reveals a new ‘megagroup’ including most photosynthetic eukaryotes

- 23 August 2008
This work investigates early evolution among the major eukaryotic supergroups using the broadest multigene dataset to date and provides strong support for the clustering of plants, chromalveolates, rhizarians, haptophytes and cryptomonads, thus linking nearly all photosynthetic lineages and raising the question of a possible unique origin of plastids.
The twilight of Heliozoa and rise of Rhizaria, an emerging supergroup of amoeboid eukaryotes.

Combined small-subunit ribosomal RNA and actin sequence data for the three main groups of "Heliozoa" (Actinophryida, Centrohelida, and Desmothoracida), the heliozoan-like Sticholonche, and the radiolarian group Polycystinea provide solid evidence for the existence of the Rhizaria.
High genetic diversity and relative specificity among Symbiodinium-like endosymbiotic dinoflagellates in soritid foraminiferans

- 1 December 2001
The phylogenetic analysis of the present data indicates relative specificity of soritid symbionts compared to other Symbiodinium-like dinoflagellates, but the causes of this specificity are not yet understood.
Phylogeny of the order Zoantharia (Anthozoa, Hexacorallia) based on the mitochondrial ribosomal genes
- F. Sinniger, J. Montoya-Burgos, P. Chevaldonné, J. Pawłowski
- Biology
- 14 July 2005
To resolve the phylogenetic relationships among Zoantharia, the sequences of mitochondrial 16S and 12S rRNA genes obtained from 24 specimens, representing two suborders and eight genera are analysed and Brachycnemina appears as a monophyletic group diverging within the paraphyletic Macrocnemina.
