The Perkinsus marinus Genome Sequencing Project

TIGR and the Center for Marine Biotechnology (COMB) are sequencing the genome of the protistan parasite Perkinsus marinus.

P. marinus causes the disease known as "Dermo" in the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica.

Funding for this project is being provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
