MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are conserved, short, non-coding RNAs that play a crucial role in the
post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. They have been implicated in the …

Malaria is a devastating infectious disease that is caused by blood-borne apicomplexan
parasites of the genus Plasmodium. These pathogens have a complex lifecycle, which …

Parasites and infectious diseases are everywhere and represent some of the most potent
forces sha** the natural world. They affect almost every aspect imaginable in the life of …

Malaria remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the tropics, with Plasmodium

Single-cell RNA-sequencing is revolutionising our understanding of seemingly
homogeneous cell populations but has not yet been widely applied to single-celled …

Background Rodent malaria parasites (RMP) are used extensively as models of human
malaria. Draft RMP genomes have been published for Plasmodium yoelii, P. berghei ANKA …
