Spironucleus salmonicida ATCC 50377 genome sequencing project
<i>Spironucleus salmonicida</i> is being developed as a model system to study the cell biology, virulence and evolution of diplomonads, a group of anaerobic diplokaryotic eukaryotes. This project will contribute to the understanding of the function and evolution of the eukaryotes in general. A whole genome sequence project using a combination of 454 and Solexa is being performed. The genome sequence will be assembled and annotated.
