The first meeting in a new series of EMBO meetings aimed at bringing together those working on genome-enabled research encompassing the great diversity of eukaryotic microorganisms was held recently in Spain. New technology such as high-throughput sequencing now allows less well studied eukaryotic microbes to come into the limelight providing some fascinating glimpses into the eukaryotic world that lies outside multicellular plants and animals. Some of the highlights of the meeting are presented here. In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin s On the Origin of Species the meeting opened with The Darwin Lecture delivered by Bernard Dujon Institut Pasteur Paris France who highlighted the fact that our current knowledge of eukaryotic genomes is highly biased towards the two supergroups of Unikonts the animals and fungi and Plantae red and green algae and plants and to a lesser extent towards the Chromalveo-lates ciliates brown algae diatoms and dinoflagellates for example . Dujon pointed out the need for more genomics data representing the other two eukaryotic supergroups - the Excavata which contains some important parasites of humans and the Rhizaria the pseudo-podial amoeboids - to foster a clearer understanding of eukaryotic diversity. A spectacular illustration of this diversity was presented by .
