摘要

在 GenBank 中，至少有 1-2% 的注释为 Blastocystis 的 DNA 序列代表 Blastocystis 以外的生物或序列伪造。这种做法不仅在生物学上是不正确的，还会导致高估遗传多样性、低估宿主特异性，以及使用基于 DNA 的方法对检测过的样本进行错误分类。

Towards minimizing second-generation mis-identification of Blastocystis.

At least 1-2% of DNA sequences annotated as Blastocystis in GenBank represent organisms other than Blastocystis or sequence artefacts. As well as being biologically incorrect, such practice can lead to overestimates of genetic diversity, underestimated host specificity, and incorrect classification of samples tested for Blastocystis using DNA-based methods.

期刊介绍： Since its inception as Parasitology Today in 1985, Trends in Parasitology has evolved into a highly esteemed review journal of global significance, reflecting the importance of medical and veterinary parasites worldwide. The journal serves as a hub for communication among researchers across all disciplines of parasitology, encompassing endoparasites, ectoparasites, transmission vectors, and susceptible hosts. Each monthly issue of Trends in Parasitology offers authoritative, cutting-edge, and yet accessible review articles, providing a balanced and comprehensive overview, along with opinion pieces offering personal and novel perspectives. Additionally, the journal publishes a variety of short articles designed to inform and stimulate thoughts in a lively and widely-accessible manner. These include Science & Society (discussing the interface between parasitology and the general public), Spotlight (highlighting recently published research articles), Forum (presenting single-point hypotheses), Parasite/Vector of the Month (featuring a modular display of the selected species), Letter (providing responses to recent articles in Trends in Parasitology), and Trendstalk (conducting interviews). Please note that the journal exclusively publishes literature reviews based on published data, with systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and unpublished primary research falling outside our scope.
