This study identifies collagen-like proteins (PCLs) in Pasteuria ramosa as key mediators of host specificity, revealing strong genotype-phenotype associations and supporting the matching allele model.

The paper sequences two high-quality genomes of Pasteuria ramosa isolates, revealing rapid CLP gene radiation and gene family dynamics driven by transposition and coevolution.

The paper investigates how the position of DNA double strand breaks influences gene expression and VSG switching pathway choice in Trypanosoma brucei.
