The CLUSTER analysis of the assemblage structure also showed that there were significant differences between the two incubation temperatures but not between pH, in spite of relatively high levels of similarity (i.e. between 60 and 80%).
We previously reported genome sequencing and analysis of the assemblage B isolate GS and comparative genomics to the WB genome revealed a well conserved core of genes, but also extensive genomic rearrangements [ 22].
To further understand the biological differences between human- and non-human infective isolates of G. intestinalis we here present a draft genome sequence and analysis of the assemblage E isolate P15, originally isolated from a piglet in the Czech Republic.
Analysis of the assemblage B genome (isolate GS) showed extensive allelic sequence heterozygosity (ASH) within the genome [ 9], ASH was lower in the AII isolate DH (ASH 0.037 %, [ 10]) whereas it was even lower in assemblage AI (isolate WB; ASH <0.01 %) [ 8] and E (isolate P15; ASH ~0.0023%%) [ 11].
Comparative genome analysis of the assemblage A isolate WB and the B isolate GS previously revealed evidence of chromosomal shuffling, an abundance of allelic heterozygosity (ASH) and approximately 900 conserved open reading frames that were left unannotated in the first Giardia genome project.

This paper presents a taphonomic analysis of the faunal assemblages from the 1993 1999 excavations at Ambrona Spainn), directed by Santonja and Pérez-González.
Lithic raw material analysis of the archaeological assemblages allowed us to define the dispersal of raw materials used in the site.
Techno-typological analysis of the lithic assemblages indicates an abundance of Levallois technology and numerous retouched tool types (e.g., Levallois points, and all types of convergent scrapers), leading the site to be attributed to the Middle Paleolithic.
As the different enriched experimental treatments and the unenriched controls did not have a significantly different effect on the nematode assemblage that colonised the tubes, they were considered as one group for further descriptionand analysis of the coloniser assemblage structure.
