Microbial Eukaryotes: a Missing Link in Gut Microbiome Studies

ABSTRACT Human-associated microbial communities include prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms across high-level clades of the tree of life. While advances in high-throughput sequencing technology allow for the study of diverse lineages, the vast majority of studies are limited to bacteria, and very l...
