Comparative approaches to genome evolution in Blastocystis and Entamoeba

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Parasitism has arisen independently in numerous lineages of eukaryotes. Investigating the origins of parasitism is a core question in evolutionary biology and allows identification of parasite-specific factors that aid in diagnosis and treatment. Comparative genomic studies have often been applied within clades of parasites, which allows their ancestral state to be imagined, but cannot elucidate the processes that...
