Dear Joan,

We have sequenced D. caveatum, D. rosarium and a local isolate of D. purpureum. A strain of D. polycephalum isolated by us has been sequenced by Hidekazu Kuwayama of Tsukuba University. Gene models have not been made in either of them. The contig sequences will be published in the future. For the moment, if anyone is interested in the sequences, please contact us.

The latter three are group or clade-intermediate species with positions in the SSU phylogeny that are not strongly supported. We are using concatenated proteins to improve the internal node structure of the phylogeny.
