Chromosomal duplication in Giardia duodenalis.

International journal for parasitology - 1 Aug 1993

Upcroft J A, Healey A, Upcroft P

Abstract excerpt

Strains of Giardia duodenalis from diverse parts of the world have three or four chromosomal bands in the range of 650-800 kb as defined by field inversion gel electrophoresis. The extra chromosome band in this range defined a group of strains which are geographically distinct from other strains missing this band. The cloned line WB-1B has three chromosome bands in this size range and chromosome band 3 was used...
