The paper generates high-quality chromosome-level genomes for three Plasmodium species from natural infections, improving understanding of their biology and evolution.

The paper evaluates how using a sample-matched reference genome affects single-cell transcriptomic analysis in Plasmodium falciparum, finding that var genes require a matched genome for accurate expression inference.

The paper maps eQTLs in stimulated iPSC-derived macrophages and identifies condition-specific reQTLs that colocalize with disease-associated variants.

This study presents a single-cell transcriptome atlas of Plasmodium falciparum sexual development, revealing transcriptional heterogeneity in naturally infected individuals.
