Abstract excerpt

We have recently sequenced the genome of the human Giardia intestinalis assemblage B isolate GS.1 comparisons to the earlier sequenced genome of the human assemblage A isolate WB showed that the average amino acid identity in 4,300 orthologous proteins was only 78%. Here we discuss these results in the light of new genome sequencing data from the hoofed-animal assemblage E (isolate P15, isolated from a pig) and...
