Spotlight:
C.hominis Genome Sequencing Project
The
Cryptosporidium hominis Genome Sequencing Project started in
May, 2000 and is under the direction of Dr. Gregory A. Buck Drs. Ping
Xu, Ying Ping Wang, and L. Shozo Ozaki at VCU, and Drs. Giovanni Widmer
and Saul Tzipori at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine (TUSVM)
are co-directors of the project. C.hominis, which is the Cryptosporidium
species most strongly associated with human disease, is being propagated
at TUSVM. We are performing high throughput sequencing, assembly, and
analysis here at VCU. An associated project at the University of Minnesota
under the direction of Dr. Mitchell S. Abrahamsen is deriving the sequence
of the related animal pathogen C. hominis . [more]
