Lack or misleading information

This strain (mentioned as Type Strain) AMNH_IZC 00343331 is not listed in the NBCI database nor could be found in any refference in the original work for the Imasa heleensis by Heiss et. al., 2020. In the NBCI there are listed only 5 strains up to this date.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=2772037&lvl=3&lin=f&keep=1&srchmode=1&unlock

As for the reference, it also seems to be wrong. The full reference for the Imasa heleensis is:

Heiss AA et al. (2020), PubMed: abstract Heiss AA, Warring SD, Lukacs K, Favate J, Yang A, Gyaltshen Y, Filardi C, Simpson AGB, Kim E. 2020. Description of Imasa heleensis, gen. nov., sp. nov. (Imasidae, fam. nov.), a Deep-Branching Marine Malawimonad and Possible Key Taxon in Understanding Early Eukaryotic Evolution. J Eukaryot Microbiol

Then there the matter of the Organism modifiers. According to the NBCI database there are:

Strain: Slacy (5) Nucleotide Isolates: Slacy (5) Protein Isolates: Slacy (5)

I would like to recomend these revisions on this page. Leslynfernandes (talk) 13:23, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Leslynfernandes, I have taken a look at your criticisms for the page.

Criticism 1: This strain (mentioned as Type Strain) AMNH_IZC 00343331 is not listed in the NBCI database nor could be found in any refference in the original work for the Imasa heleensis by Heiss et. al., 2020. The strain AMNH_IZC 00343331 appears in the original work, in page 14 under the section "Taxonomic acts", specifically following the description of the type material for Imasa heleensis. The text says:

Type material. The name-bearing type, an hapantotype, is a collection of fixed, dehydrated, and metal-coated individual cells of strain “Slancy,” mounted on a metal specimen platform (stub) for scanning electron microscopy. It has been accessioned by the American Museum of Natural History with the ICU AMNH_IZC 00343331.
— Heiss et al., 2020. doi:10.1111/jeu.12837, page 14

Indeed, the genetic data you find in the NCBI database as "Slacy" is mentioned in the paper, but in the Wikipedia article the "type" is what gets displayed in the taxobox.

Criticism 2: As for the reference, it also seems to be wrong. The full reference for the Imasa heleensis is:
Heiss AA et al. (2020), PubMed: abstract Heiss AA, Warring SD, Lukacs K, Favate J, Yang A, Gyaltshen Y, Filardi C, Simpson AGB, Kim E. 2020. Description of Imasa heleensis, gen. nov., sp. nov. (Imasidae, fam. nov.), a Deep-Branching Marine Malawimonad and Possible Key Taxon in Understanding Early Eukaryotic Evolution. J Eukaryot Microbiol. You can scroll to the References section of the Wikipedia article and observe that the reference is indeed present with all the necessary information, including a link to the PubMed entry for that reference (PMID). — Snoteleks (talk) 19:40, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
