image: Immunofluorescence microscopy images of Chlamydomonas generated by students of the course "The Molecular Genetics of Chlamydomonas," University of Geneva. Cells were labeled with antitubulin (green), anti-IFT46 (red) and DAPI (blue) and a photomontage was constructed with cells (clockwise from bottom) having flagella oriented approximately as they would be during early effective, mid-effective, and mid-recovery strokes, turning, and backwards swimming. The images were generated using a Leica DM6000B microscope with a Leica DFC350FX camera. This image relates to an article that appeared in the Oct. 12, 2007, issue of the journal Science, published by AAAS. The study, by Dr. Sabeeha S. Merchant and colleagues at the University of California, Los Angeles in Los Angeles, was titled "The Chlamydomonas Genome Reveals the Evolution of Key Animal and Plant Functions." view more
