This is a selection of full-length or almost full-length small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences for accepted subtypes.
(most recently updated 19 November 2021)
These are partial small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences for proposed new subtypes. These do not yet meet the criteria proposed by Stensvold and Clark (2019) for acceptance as new subtypes but are likely to be novel.

This is a selection of full-length or almost full-length small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences from reptiles and insects, i.e. which do not fall into the above categories. These are often included in global Blastocystis phylogenetic analyses.
If you have potential new subtype sequences, please email them to Rune Stensvold for analysis and to prevent multiple sequences being allocated the same new subtype number. If you have a novel sequence from other sources that you think should be included in one of the above files, please also send it through.
