Structure and evolution of transcriptional regulatory networks. (2004, neutral): “Further support for the above statement is provided by several parasitic eukaryotes, such as the apicomplexans, that lack the diverse panoply of transcription factors seen in the crown group eukaryotes, but have a well-developed apparatus for chromatin modification and basal transcription [34,35].”
Mapping of picoeucaryotes in marine ecosystems with quantitative PCR of the 18S rRNA gene. (2005, background): “For example in the unicellular alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae only three copies of the rrn operon are present on different loci with no repetition [47] while in the apicomplexan Cryptosporidium parvum, five copies are found [48].”
Macronuclear Genome Sequence of the Ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila, a Model Eukaryote (2006, neutral): “The latter possibility is not without precedent, as some apicomplexans such as the Cryptosporidia have lost their apicoplasts and have few, if any, plastid-derived genes in their nuclear genomes [82,83].”
