tists。立即引人注目的是编辑们对研究原生生物的明确论点：1）原生生物是复杂的生物体，涉及地球上所有形式的生物多样性，从海洋硅藻（海链藻）到人类疟疾寄生虫（恶性疟原虫）; 2）原生生物已经在地球上居住了数亿年，这提供了丰富的进化数据，可以在测序其基因组时进行分析。分为三个主要部分和许多小节围绕几种不同的原生生物的进化和基因组分析，编辑们邀请了微生物真核生物专家贡献他们在各自领域最新发展的广泛知识。本书旨在为广大的科学观众，只需要对基本的生物学过程有一个基本的了解，这本书成功地迫使读者继续探索微生物真核生物的令人兴奋的世界，在作者写作的清晰和简单，但仍然是科学的语言。作者还慷慨地提供了广泛的文学参考，在他们的部分结束，为读者探索未来的阅读。对于那些可能怀疑微生物真核生物重要性的人，让我们不要忘记最初的诺贝尔奖获得者证明RNA催化能力的实验是在研究了纤毛动物嗜热四膜虫之后首次进行的。微生物真核生物的基因组学和进化留给读者希望，更多的基础研究将揭示更多有趣和新颖的现象，以进一步我们目前对基本生物过程的理解。
tists. Immediately striking is the editors’clear argument for studying protists: 1) Protists are complex organisms involved in all forms of biodiversity on Earth, from the oceanic diatom (Thalassiosira pseudonana) to the human malaria parasite (Plasmodium falciparum); and 2) Protists have inhabited the earth for hundreds of millions of years, which provides a wealth of evolutionary data to be analyzed upon sequencing their genomes. Divided into three main sections and numerous subsections revolving around the evolution and genomic analyses of several different protists, the editors have invited experts of microbial eukaryotes to contribute their extensive knowledge on the most recent developments in their respective fields. Intended for a wide scientific audience by requiring only a fundamental understanding of basic biological processes, the book succeeds in compelling the reader to continue exploring the exciting world of microbial eukaryotes in the clear and simple, yet still scientific, language in which the authors write. The authors also graciously provide extensive literary references at the end of their sections for the reader to explore future reading. For those whomay doubt the importance of microbial eukaryotes, let us not forget the initial Nobel prize-winning experiments demonstrating the catalytic ability of RNA were first conducted after studying the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila. Genomics and Evolution of Microbial Eukaryotes leaves the reader with hopes that more basic research will uncover additional interesting and novel phenomena to further our current understanding of essential biological processes.
