Phylogenomics reveals Adeleorina are an ancient and distinct subgroup of Apicomplexa
Transcriptomes and WGS were generated and used in phylogenomic analyses showing that Adeleorina are not closely related to any of the currently sampled apicomplexan subgroups, and instead fall as a sister to a large clade encompassing Coccidia, Protococcidia, Hematozoa, and Nephromycida, collectively. This resolves Adeleorina as a key independently-branching group, separate from coccidians, on the tree of Apicomplexa
