ESTs from the microsporidian Edhazardia aedis (2008)
Gill, Erin E, Becnel, James J, Fast, Naomi M
Abstract Background Microsporidia are a group of parasites related to fungi that infect a wide variety of animals and have gained recognition from the medical community in the past 20 years due to...
Williams, Bryony AP, Lee, Renny CH, Becnel, James J, Weiss, Louis M, Fast, Naomi M, Keeling, Patrick J
Abstract Background Microsporidia are well known models of extreme nuclear genome reduction and compaction. The smallest microsporidian genomes have received the most attention, but genomes of...
Stripped-down DNA repair in a highly reduced parasite (2007)
Abstract Background Encephalitozoon cuniculi is a member of a distinctive group of single-celled parasitic eukaryotes called microsporidia, which are closely related to fungi. Some of these...

Re-examining Alveolate Evolution Using Multiple Protein Molecular Phylogenies (2002)
NAOMI M. FAST, LINGRU XUE, SCOTT BINGHAM, PATRICK J. KEELING
Alveolates are a diverse group of protists that includes three major lineages: ciliates, apicomplexa, and dinoflagellates. Among these three, it is thought that the apicomplexa and dinoflagellates...

We have isolated and analysed an α-tubulin-encoding gene (atub1) in an early-diverging eukaryote, Trichomonas vaginalis. The complete atub1 open reading frame included 1,356 bp encoding a...

The phylum Apicomplexa encompasses a large number of intracellular protozoan parasites, including the causative agents of malaria (Plasmodium), toxoplasmosis (Toxoplasma), and many other human and...
Fast, Naomi M., Law, Joyce S., Williams, Bryony A. P., Keeling, Patrick J.
Microsporidia constitute a group of extremely specialized intracellular parasites that infect virtually all animals. They are highly derived, reduced fungi that lack several features typical of other...
A high frequency of overlapping gene expression in compacted eukaryotic genomes
Williams, Bryony A. P., Slamovits, Claudio H., Patron, Nicola J., Fast, Naomi M., Keeling, Patrick J.
The gene density of eukaryotic nuclear genomes is generally low relative to prokaryotes, but several eukaryotic lineages (many parasites or endosymbionts) have independently evolved highly compacted,...
