In collaboration with Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University, USA, we have shown that polymorphic members of lag gene family mediate kin discrimination in the development of a social amoeba Dicyostelium. In short, amoeba with similar genetic structure collaborate better in the development.

From 2008 dictyBase includes links to the web pages developed within our project that report on gene groups where genes are both similar in promoter structure and transcriptional response. The published manuscript reports on this and other advancements of the dictyBase, a central web page for Dictyostelium discoideum.
