Abstract Background Phagocytosis plays a major role in the defense of higher organisms against microbial infection and provides also the basis for antigen processing in the immune response. Cells of...
Widespread duplications in the genomes of laboratory stocks of Dictyostelium discoideum (2008)
Bloomfield, Gareth, Tanaka, Yoshimasa, Skelton, Jason, Ivens, Alasdair, Kay, Robert R
Abstract Background Duplications of stretches of the genome are an important source of individual genetic variation, but their unrecognized presence in laboratory organisms would be a confounding...

Abstract Background The MIAME and MAGE-OM standards defined by the MGED society provide a specification and implementation of a software infrastructure to facilitate the submission and sharing of...
Epigenetic Silencing of Plasmodium falciparum Genes Linked to Erythrocyte Invasion (2007)
Alfred Cortés, Celine Carret, Osamu Kaneko, Alasdair Ivens, Anthony A. Holder
The process of erythrocyte invasion by merozoites of Plasmodium falciparum involves multiple steps, including the formation of a moving junction between parasite and host cell, and it is...
Leishmania major Friedlin chromosome 1 has an unusual distribution of protein-coding genes
Myler, Peter J., Audleman, Lindsey, DeVos, Theo, Hixson, Greg, Kiser, Patti, Lemley, Craig, ...
Leishmania are evolutionarily ancient protozoans (Kinetoplastidae) and important human pathogens that cause a spectrum of diseases ranging from the asymptomatic to the lethal. The Leishmania genome...

From genomes to vaccines: Leishmania as a model.
Almeida, Renata, Norrish, Alan, Levick, Mark, Vetrie, David, Freeman, Tom, Vilo, Jaak, ...
The 35 Mb genome of Leishmania should be sequenced by late 2002. It contains approximately 8500 genes that will probably translate into more than 10 000 proteins. In the laboratory we have been...

Sequencing and analysis of chromosome 1 of Eimeria tenella reveals a unique segmental organization
Ling, King-Hwa, Rajandream, Marie-Adele, Rivailler, Pierre, Ivens, Alasdair, Yap, Soon-Joo, ...
Eimeria tenella is an intracellular protozoan parasite that infects the intestinal tracts of domestic fowl and causes coccidiosis, a serious and sometimes lethal enteritis. Eimeria falls in the same...

Genome-wide discovery and verification of novel structured RNAs in Plasmodium falciparum
Mourier, Tobias, Carret, Celine, Kyes, Sue, Christodoulou, Zoe, Gardner, Paul P., Jeffares, Daniel C., ...
We undertook a genome-wide search for novel noncoding RNAs (ncRNA) in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. We used the RNAz program to predict structures in the noncoding regions of the P....
