Phylogenomics of Zoopagales
Previous phylogenomic analyses of Fungi have under sampled taxa from Zoopaglaes, an order that contains many fungi predacious or parasitic on eukaryotic microbes. We sequenced the genomes of an additional 5 taxa from Zoopagales using single cell methods. We assembled and binned the genomes using a combination of ESOM, RSCU, and GC-coverage blob plots. We inferred a maximum likelihood tree using 192 proteins and performed an ancestral state reconstruction to determine the ancestral life style of the clade. Our results indicate that Zoopagales is a monophyletic lineage
