The paper identifies a variant rRNA in Plasmodium falciparum that represses translation during host-to-vector transmission by forming a dominant-negative ribosome.

This study identifies MaRNAV-1 as an intracellular virus in Plasmodium vivax that increases transmission and alters host immune responses.

This paper identifies N6-methyladenosine (m6A) as a mechanism enabling malaria parasites to rapidly restructure protein synthesis during transmission, dependent on temperature changes and the m6A-binding protein YTH.2.

This study identifies a metabolism-chromatin axis that regulates ribosome heterogeneity in Plasmodium falciparum during host-to-vector transmission.

The paper creates a genomically hybrid strain of Sinorhizobium meliloti by transferring a secondary replicon and characterizes its phenotypes and metabolic properties.
