Phylogeny and species delimitation of ciliates in the genus Spirostomum (class Heterotrichea) using single-cell transcriptomes

Abstract Background Ciliates are single-celled microbial eukaryotes that diverged from other eukaryotic lineages more than a billion years ago. The long evolutionary timespan of ciliates has led to enormous genetic and phenotypic changes, contributing significantly to their high level of diversity....
