Hemimastigophora (e.g. Hemimastix) "outside of all established eukaryote supergroups ... instead comprise an independent supra-kingdom-level lineage"

"Hemimastigophora is a novel supra-kingdom-level lineage of eukaryotes"

Nature (2018)

"Here we report phylogenomic analyses based on high-coverage, cultivation-independent transcriptomics that place Hemimastigophora outside of all established eukaryote supergroups. They instead comprise an independent supra-kingdom-level lineage that most likely forms a sister clade to the ‘Diaphoretickes’ half of eukaryote diversity (that is, the ‘stramenopiles, alveolates and Rhizaria’ supergroup (Sar), Archaeplastida and Cryptista, as well as other major groups)."

"Rare microbes lead scientists to discover new branch on the tree of life"

CBC News · Posted: Nov 15, 2018

"Canadian researchers have discovered a new kind of organism that's so different from other living things that it doesn't fit into the plant kingdom, the animal kingdom, or any other kingdom used to classify known organisms.

Two species of the microscopic organisms, called hemimastigotes, were found in dirt collected on a whim during a hike in Nova Scotia by Dalhousie University graduate student Yana Eglit.

A genetic analysis shows they're more different from other organisms than animals and fungi (which are in different kingdoms) are from each other, representing a completely new part of the tree of life ..."

Redirect in error?

[edit]

Currently Hemimastigophora redirects here, but as far as I can tell it shouldn't. As this article says, the Spironemidae is a subclade of the Hemimastigophora, not identical to it. IAmNitpicking (talk) 21:46, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
