The Mastigamoeba balamuthi Genome and the Nature of the Free-Living Ancestor of Entamoeba

22 Jan 2021

Abstract excerpt

The transition of free-living organisms to parasitic organisms is a mysterious process that occurs in all major eukaryotic lineages. Parasites display seemingly unique features associated with their pathogenicity; however, it is important to distinguish ancestral preconditions to parasitism from truly new parasite-specific functions. Here, we sequenced the genome and transcriptome of anaerobic free-living...
