This study identifies the AP2-I/BDP1 transcriptional complex in malaria parasites, showing its role in blood stage development and sexual commitment, with potential as a drug target.

The paper analyzes the pangenome of Rhizoctonia solani isolates and develops a database, RsolaniDB, to facilitate research on its genetic diversity and pathogenicity.

The paper generates high-quality genomes and phenotypes for ten Plasmodium vinckei isolates, revealing genomic diversity, selection pressures, and potential for genetic manipulation.

The paper shows that malaria parasites' intraerythrocytic cycle duration is influenced by coordination with host circadian rhythms, with gene expression and pathways affected when this coordination is disrupted.

This paper introduces a method to identify genetic drivers of multiple phenotypes in malaria parasites by combining LGS, sequencing, and mathematical modeling, demonstrating its effectiveness in detecting novel alleles for growth rate and strain-specific immunity.
