title = "The Giardia genome project database",
abstract = "The Giardia genome project database provides an online resource for Giardia lamblia (WB strain, clone C6) genome sequence information. The database includes edited single-pass reads, the results of BLASTX searches, and details of progress towards sequencing the entire 12 million-bp Giardia genome. Pre-sorted BLASTX results can be retrieved based on keyword searches and BLAST searches of the high throughput Giardia data can be initiated from the web site or through NCBI. Descriptions of the genomic DNA libraries, project protocols and summary statistics are also available. Although the Giardia genome project is ongoing, new sequences are made available on a bi- monthly basis to ensure that researchers have access to information that may assist them in the search for genes and their biological function. The current URL of the Giardia genome project database is www.mbl.edu/Giardia. (C) 2000 Federation of European Microbiological Societies.",

note = "Funding Information: The Giardia genome project at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, is part of an NIH Investigator-Initiated Interactive Research Project Grant (IRPG). The genome sequencing component of this IRPG is a collaborative effort between the laboratories of Mitchell L. Sogin (Josephine Bay Paul Center for Comparative Molecular Biology and Evolution at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole), Stephen Aley (University of Texas at El Paso), Rodney Adam (University of Arizona at Tucson) and Gary Olsen (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). The Giardia sequencing effort is complemented by its IRPG functional genomics unit {\textquoteleft} Giardia : A Model For Ancient Eukaryote Genome Function{\textquoteright}, directed by Frances D. Gillin at the University of California at San Diego. Funding Information: The Giardia genome project is supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (Grant numbers AI43273 and AI42488), The G. Unger Vetlesen Foundation, and LI-COR Biotechnology. Additional laboratory assistance has been provided by Bruce Luders, John Darga, Elizabeth Duffy, Margaret L. Bradley and Scott Bressoud.",
