The promise of a protist: the Dictyostelium genome project.

Abstract excerpt

The genome of Dictyostelium discoideum is being sequenced by an international consortium and is scheduled for completion in the next few years. The sequence will accelerate research into a number of phenomena carried out by these versatile soil amoebae, providing insight into analogous processes that operate in a wide range of eukaryotes. These include the dynamic regulation of the cytoskeleton during chemotaxis,...
