Inference of the phylogenetic position of oxymonads based on nine genes: support for Metamonada and Excavata.

Abstract

We demonstrate that concatenation most genes recovered a well-supported group of Metamonada that branched weakly with euglenozoans ? connecting all four excavates included in the analyses and providing conditional support for the existence of Excavata
