Genetic Evidence for Sexuality in Cochliopodium (Amoebozoa) [PDF]
Microbial eukaryotes, including amoeboids, display diverse and complex life cycles that may or may not involve sexual reproduction. A recent comprehensive gene inventory study concluded that the Amoebozoa are ancestrally sexual. However, the detection of sex genes in some lineages known for their potentially sexual life cycle was very low. Particularly,

Phylogenetic reconstruction and evolution of the Rab GTPase gene family in Amoebozoa
Rab GTPase is a paralog-rich gene family that controls the maintenance of the eukaryotic cell compartmentalization system. Diverse eukaryotes have varying numbers of Rab paralogs. Currently, little is known about the evolutionary pattern of Rab GTPase in

Myxomycetes of the Atlantic Rainforest: species on the ground litter from Pedra Talhada Biological Reserve (Alagoas, Brazil) [PDF]
The Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest is considered one of the world biodiversity hotspots, with high levels of endemism. Studies on the myxobiota of Atlantic Rainforest have been carried out mainly in the Northeast region of Brazil but the ground litter ...

NAD9/NAD7 (mitochondrial nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase gene): A new “Holy Grail” phylogenetic and DNA-barcoding marker for Arcellinida (Amoebozoa)? [PDF]
Molecular phylogeny is an indispensable tool for assessing evolutionary relationships among protists. The most commonly used marker is the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene, a conserved gene present in many copies in the nuclear genomes.

Phylogenetic evidence for a new genotype of Acanthamoeba (Amoebozoa, Acanthamoebida) [PDF]
Acanthamoeba are widespread free-living amoebae, able to cause infection in animals, with keratitis and granulomatous encephalitis as major diseases in humans. Recent developments in the subgenus classification are based on the determination of the nucleotide sequence of the 18S rDNA.
