Dictyostelium discoideum is a useful model for molecular studies of cell biology and development. The 34-megabase Dictyostelium genome is currently being sequenced through the efforts of an international consortium. The genome is expected to encode 8-10,000 genes, including all those required for a free-living eukaryote capable of multicellular development. A complete description of the Dictyostelium genome will open the way toward the application of genome-based experimental approaches to studies of cell biology and development in this organism, and allow detailed physiological and evolutionary comparisons to other species.
