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 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...
