Metagenomics, particularly genome-resolved metagenomics, has significantly deepened our understanding of various microbes, including the unculturable ones, illuminating their taxonomic and functional diversity and roles in ecology, physiology, and evolution. However, the eukaryotic microbes within various microbiomes, including those in the mammalian gastrointestinal (GI) tract, remain relatively underexplored in metagenomic studies due to the lack of reference genome databases and robust bioinformatics tools. We curated several ruminant eukaryotic protein databases, significantly enhancing our ability to distinguish the functional roles of ruminant fungi and protozoa from those of prokaryotes.
