Systematic ChIP-seq profiling of 172 transcription factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa reveals a hierarchical regulatory architecture governing virulence and establishes a searchable database to guide antimicrobial drug discovery.
Placenta-binding parasites show that chromatin-based mechanisms regulate placental malaria virulence gene, var2csa, and requires loss of H3K9me3-mediated heterochromatic silencing and 3D nuclear repositioning away from telomeric-repressive clusters.
