Evolutionary genetics: sex happens in Giardia.

John M Logsdon1.   

Abstract

Previous analyses of the Giardia genome exposed numerous genes required for meiosis, suggesting that sexual reproduction is occurring in this early-diverging eukaryote. A new study now uncovers direct genetic evidence for recombination in Giardia populations.
