Some results of genomic and transcriptomic studies of Aphelida (Opisthokonta, Holomycota)—parasitoid organisms that are the closest relatives of fungi—are presented. The combination of relatedness to Fungi and the features of a common ancestor of Opisthokonta makes aphelides a very important object for studying various aspects of the evolution of the Opisthokonta group and subgroups within it.
