Pneumocystis Genome Project

Pneumocystis species cannot be grown in culture. Therefore, there is a limitation to the availability of the human disease causing agent, P. jirovecii. Hence, investigation of the whole genome of a Pneumocystis is largely based upon true P. carinii available from experimental rats which can be maintained with infections. The project is described in the site linked here. Genetic material of other species, such as P. jirovecii can be compared to the genome of P. carinii. Pneumocystis Genome Project
