Evidence for holocentric centromeres in the early branching apicomplexan parasite Cryptosporidium parvum

Abigail K. Kimball, Wanyi Huang, Rui Xu…·L. David Sibley

This study identifies diffuse centromere organization in Cryptosporidium parvum, distinct from regional centromeres in related apicomplexans, suggesting an independent evolutionary origin.

Mendelian segregation and high recombination rates facilitate genetic analyses in Cryptosporidium parvum

Abigail Kimball, Lisa J. Funkhouser-Jones, Wanyi Huang…·L. David Sibley

This study investigates meiotic processes in Cryptosporidium parvum by analyzing chromosome segregation and recombination rates using transgenic parasites and in vitro cultures, revealing Mendelian inheritance and high crossover rates.
