Open AccessA new social gene in Dictyostelium discoideum, chtB
Competitive social interactions are ubiquitous in nature, but their genetic basis is difficult to determine. Much can be learned from single gene knockouts in a eukaryote microbe. The mutants can be competed w...

Open AccessComparative genomics of the social amoebae Dictyostelium discoideum and Dictyostelium purpureum
The social amoebae (Dictyostelia) are a diverse group of Amoebozoa that achieve multicellularity by aggregation and undergo morphogenesis into fruiting bodies with terminally differentiated spores and stalk ce...

Open AccessNew components of the Dictyostelium PKA pathway revealed by Bayesian analysis of expression data
Identifying candidate genes in genetic networks is important for understanding regulation and biological function. Large gene expression datasets contain relevant information about genetic networks, but mining...

Open AccessConserved developmental transcriptomes in evolutionarily divergent species
Evolutionarily divergent organisms often share developmental anatomies despite vast differences between their genome sequences. The social amoebae Dictyostelium discoideum and Dictyostelium purpureum have similar...

Open AccessHigh-throughput analysis of spatio-temporal dynamics in Dictyostelium
We demonstrate a time-lapse video approach that allows rapid examination of the spatio-temporal dynamics of Dictyostelium cell populations. Quantitative information was gathered by sampling life histories of more...

Restriction Enzyme-Mediated Integration (REMI) Mutagenesis
A method for the integration of linear DNA into the Dictyostelium genome is described. Restriction enzyme-mediated integration, or REMI, involves the transformation of cells with a mixture of plasmid DNA, lineari...

The Genome of Dictyostelium discoideum
The Dictyostelium discoideum genome has been sequenced, assembled and annotated to a high degree of reliability. The parts-list of proteins and RNA encoded by the six chromosomes can now be accessed and analyzed....

The promise of a protist: the Dictyostelium genome project
The genome of Dictyostelium discoideum is being sequenced by an international consortium and is scheduled for completion in the next few years. The sequence will accelerate research into a number of phenomena ca...
