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 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...

Epistasis analysis with global transcriptional phenotypes
Classical epistasis analysis can determine the order of function of genes in pathways using morphological, biochemical and other phenotypes. It requires knowledge of the pathway's phenotypic output and a varie...

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...
