Genomic and phenotypic characterization of experimentally selected resistant Leishmania donovani reveals a role for dynamin-1 like protein in the mechanism of resistance to a novel anti-leishmanial compound

A. Hefnawy, G. Negreira, M. Jara, J. A. Cotton, I. Maes, E. D'Haenens, H. Imamura, B. Cuypers, P. Monsieurs, C. Mouchtoglou, H. De Winter, M. Berriman, M. Sanders, J. Martin, G. De Muylder, , M. A. Domagalska

This study experimentally selects resistance to a novel anti-leishmanial compound in Leishmania donovani and identifies mutations in the dynamin-1-like protein as a key mechanism of resistance.

Evaluation of whole genome amplification and bioinformatic methods for the characterization of Leishmania genomes at a single cell level

H. Imamura, M. Jara, P. Monsieurs, M. Sanders, I. Maes, M. Vanaerschot, M. Berriman, J. A. Cotton, J.-C. Dujardin, M. A. Domagalska

The paper evaluates WGA methods for Leishmania single-cell genomics, finding PicoPlex better for aneuploidy and RepliG for SNPs, and detects aneuploidy mosaicism in L. braziliensis.

Tracking of quiescence in Leishmania by quantifying the expression of GFP in the ribosomal DNA locus

M. Jara, I. Maes, H. Imamura, M. A. Domagalska, J.-C. Dujardin, J. Arevalo

The paper develops a biosensor to track quiescence in Leishmania by quantifying GFP expression from the ribosomal DNA locus, showing it correlates with replication state and is reversible.
