The paper investigates viral lateral gene transfer in Acanthamoeba, showing viral insertions are epigenetically silenced and subject to deterioration over time.

The paper analyzes SNP and structural variant allele frequencies in Acanthamoeba castellanii to reveal dynamic and variable ploidy across chromosome-scale scaffolds.

This study investigates how A. castellanii handles foreign DNA by analyzing transgene integration and proposing a mechanism involving tandem duplication and telomere addition.

The paper presents chromosome-scale genome assemblies of Acanthamoeba castellanii and shows infection-induced chromatin reorganization during Legionella pneumophila infection.
