  1. Evidence for candidate basal body proteins is based on homology to known basal body proteins in other organisms (HOM) [9, 41, 42], enrichments of Giardia basal body proteins in proteomic analyses (PRO) [19, 41] and/or subcellular localization using either heterologous antibodies (IFA) [25–27, 43, 44] or epitope-tagging (EPI) [19, 41]. Candidate basal body proteins identified with an ongoing, publically available, Giardia C-terminal GFP-tagging project for EuPATHDB [45] in our laboratory are also presented (GFP)
