Supplementary Table 2. Identification of the 403 published, environmental eukaryotic sequences we re-analysed. Previously undetected chimeras are highlighted in pink. Phylotypes previously considered as novel eukaryotic lineages, which are in fact fast-evolving members of known groups are highlighted in orange. Phylotypes that could be identified thanks to an increasing taxon sampling are highlighted in green. Remaining phylotypes of undetermined taxonomic position are highlighted in blue.
