Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium falciparum are important human pathogens. These
parasites and many of their apicomplexan relatives undergo a complex developmental …

Plasmodium sporozoites are the product of a complex developmental process in the
mosquito vector and are destined to infect the mammalian liver. Attention has been drawn to …

The complex life cycle of Plasmodium falciparum requires coordinated gene expression
regulation to allow host cell invasion, transmission, and immune evasion. Increasing …

The human malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax is responsible for 25–40% of the∼ 515
million annual cases of malaria worldwide. Although seldom fatal, the parasite elicits severe …

Underlying the development of malaria parasites within erythrocytes and the resulting
pathogenicity is a hardwired program that secures proper timing of gene transcription and …

The families of the plant-specific transcription factors (TFs) are defined by their characteristic
DNA-binding domains (DBDs), such as AP2/ERF, B3, NAC, SBP, and WRKY. Recently …

Protein-binding microarray (PBM) technology provides a rapid, high-throughput means of
characterizing the in vitro DNA-binding specificities of transcription factors (TFs). Using high …

The apicomplexan parasite Cryptosporidium is a leading global cause of severe diarrhoeal
disease and an important contributor to early childhood mortality. Currently, there are no …

Clonally variant gene families underlie phenotypic plasticity in Plasmodium falciparum, a
process indispensable for survival of the pathogen in its human host. Differential …

Background Apicomplexan parasites replicate by varied and unusual processes where the
typically eukaryotic expansion of cellular components and chromosome cycle are …
