Moving the Research Forward: The Best of British Biology Using the Tractable Model System <i>Dictyostelium discoideum</i>

The social amoeba <i>Dictyostelium discoideum</i> provides an excellent model for research across a broad range of disciplines within biology. The organism diverged from the plant, yeast, fungi and animal kingdoms around 1 billion years ago but retains common aspects found in these kingd...
