Phylogenetic tree of the Alveolata superphylum. The phyla for those the existence of an RNA interference pathway has been demonstrated are denoted in bold. The only known phylum of alveolates – Toxoplasma – is known to possess genes encoding microRNAs and the components of the RISC; for this reason its name is underlined. The names of the phyla for which corresponding studies are lacking are given in brackets. Adapted from Fig. 1 in [9]
