In this review, the current status of genomic and proteomic research on Giardia is examined
in terms of evolutionary biology, phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy. The review also …

Giardia lamblia is a widespread parasitic protist with a complex MT cytoskeleton that is
critical for motility, attachment, mitosis and cell division, and transitions between its two life …

Background The major human intestinal pathogen Giardia lamblia is a very early branching
eukaryote with a minimal genome of broad evolutionary and biological interest. Results To …

Giardia duodenalis is responsible for the majority of parasitic gastroenteritis in humans
worldwide. Host-parasite interaction models in vitro provide insights into disease and …

Giardia intestinalis is a ubiquitous parasitic protist that is the causative agent of giardiasis,
one of the most common protozoan diarrheal diseases in the world. Giardia trophozoites …

Cyst formation in the parasitic protist Giardia duodenalis is critical to its transmission.
Existing proteomic data quantifies only 17% of coding genes transcribed during encystation …

Uncovering the full list of human ciliary genes holds enormous promise for the diagnosis of
cilia-related human diseases, collectively known as ciliopathies. Currently, genetic …

Giardia duodenalis is a flagellated protozoan that is responsible for many cases of diarrheal
disease worldwide and is characterized by its great divergence from the model organisms …

Protists have evolved a myriad of highly specialized cytoskeletal organelles that expand
known functional capacities of microtubule (MT) polymers. One such innovation–the ventral …

Background New generation technologies in cell and molecular biology generate large
amountsof data hard to exploit for individual proteins. This is particularly true forciliary and …
