Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The genome of the eukaryotic protist Giardia lamblia, an important human intestinal parasite, is compact in structure and content, contains few introns or mitochondrial relics, and has simplified machinery for DNA replication, transcription, RNA processing, and most metabolic pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Broadly Sampled Multigene Analyses Yield a Well-Resolved Eukaryotic Tree of Life
Laura Wegener Parfrey,Jessica R. Grant,Yonas I. Tekle,Yonas I. Tekle,Erica Lasek-Nesselquist,Erica Lasek-Nesselquist,Hilary G. Morrison,Mitchell L. Sogin,David J. Patterson,Laura A. Katz,Laura A. Katz +10 more
TL;DR: These analyses demonstrate that stable topologies of ancient evolutionary relationships can be achieved with broad taxonomic sampling and a moderate number of genes, and provide a method for testing the accuracy of relationships that receive high bootstrap support in phylogenomic analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
The identification of a new Giardia duodenalis assemblage in marine vertebrates and a preliminary analysis of G. duodenalis population biology in marine systems.
TL;DR: The discovery of a previously uncharacterised lineage of G. duodenalis suggests that this parasite has more genetic diversity and perhaps a larger host range than previously believed.
Journal ArticleDOI
