Rhodelphis marinus and R. limneticus are two species from a novel eukaryotic phylum that is sister to red algae. Raw sequence reads. Rhodelphis

We present here genomic and transcriptomic data from a novel phylum of eukaryotic microbes (Rhodelphidia) that is the sister lineage of red algae. Unlike red algae, which are typically photoautotrophic and immotile, Rhodelphids are predatory flagellates with relic non-photosynthetic plastids.
