Major revisions had been made to its classification. An analysis of gene sequences was performed in 1996, which placed it into the group [[Stramenopiles]].<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Stechmann A, Hamblin K, Pérez-Brocal V |title=Organelles in Blastocystis that Blur the Distinction between Mitochondria and Hydrogenosomes |journal=Current Biology |volume=18 |issue=8 |pages=580–5 |date=April 2008 |pmid=18403202 |pmc=2428068 |doi=10.1016/j.cub.2008.03.037|bibcode=2008CBio...18..580S |display-authors=etal}}</ref><ref name="SILBERMAN_1996">{{cite journal |vauthors=Silberman JD, Sogin ML, Leipe DD, Clark CG |title=Human parasite finds taxonomic home |journal=Nature |volume=380 |issue=6573 |page=398 |year=1996 |pmid=8602239 |doi=10.1038/380398a0|bibcode=1996Natur.380..398S |s2cid=4356573 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
Other Stramenopiles include brown algae, mildew, diatoms, the organism that caused the [[Great Famine (Ireland)|Great Famine of Ireland]], and the organism responsible for [[Suddensudden oak death]] disease. However, the position of ''Blastocystis'' within the stramenopiles remains enigmatic.<ref>{{Cite journal | doi = 10.3724/SP.J.1002.2008.08060 | url = http://www.plantsystematics.com/qikan/manage/wenzhang/jse08060.pdf | title = An overview of the phylogeny and diversity of eukaryotes | first=Sandra L. |last=Baldauf | journal = Journal of Systematics and Evolution | volume = 46 | issue = 3 | pages = 263–73 | year = 2008 | doi-broken-date = 2024-09-12 }}</ref>
