Eukaryotic CellFrom 2002 through 2015, EC published findings from basic research studies of simple eukaryotic microorganisms such as yeasts, filamentous fungi, parasitic protozoa, ciliates, social amoebae, algae, and other protists. EC reported basic research studies involving genetic, genomic, biochemical, molecular, and cell biological analyses, virulence studies of host-pathogen interactions, and population genetics and evolutionary/phylogenetic studies of eukaryotic microbes.
