Three-dimensional analysis of mitosis and cytokinesis in the binucleate parasite<i>Giardia intestinalis</i>
15 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
In the binucleate parasite Giardia intestinalis, two diploid nuclei and essential cytoskeletal structures including eight flagella are duplicated and partitioned into two daughter cells during cell division. The mechanisms of mitosis and cytokinesis in the binucleate parasite Giardia are poorly resolved, yet have important implications for the maintenance of genetic heterozygosity. To articulate the mechanism of...
