The asexual forms of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum are adapted for chronic
persistence in human red blood cells, continuously evading host immunity using …

The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is auxotrophic for most amino acids. Its
amino acid needs are met largely through the degradation of host erythrocyte hemoglobin; …

A central problem in biology is to identify gene function. One approach is to infer function in
large supergenomic networks of interactions and ancestral relationships among genes; …

Mutations in the Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter, PfCRT, are the
major determinant of chloroquine resistance in this lethal human malaria parasite. Here, we …

Malaria parasites induce changes in the permeability of the infected erythrocyte membrane
to numerous solutes, including toxic compounds. In P lasmodium falciparum, this is mainly …

The application of DNA microarray technologies to malaria genomics has been widely used
but has been limited by sample availability and technical variability. To address these issues…

P lasmodium species have evolved complex biology to adapt to different hosts and changing
environments throughout their life cycle. Remarkably, these adaptations are achieved by a …

Chenopodium album is a widespread and troublesome weed in Iowa and agricultural areas
throughout the north temperate regions of the world. This study investigated the effects of …

Chenopodium album is a common, widespread and troublesome weed in agricultural areas
throughout the north temperate regions of the world. A primary reason for this flexible …

Protein domain prediction is a key step in characterizing protein structure, function, and
evolution. However, the genome of Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of malignant …
