Phylogenetic reconstruction using both maximum-likelihood and Bayesian approaches positioned ''Viscidocauda repens'' within the Endomyxa clade, establishing it as a distinct and previously unrecognized lineage.

Beyond this marker gene sequence, a complete genome or transcriptome has not yet been published, leaving its overall genetic composition and cellular functions largely unexplored.
