    Epigenetics and chromatin structure regulate var2csa expression and the placental-binding phenotype in Plasmodium falciparum

    Todd Lenz, Madle Sirel ... Ulf Ribacke
    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.

    Faisal Almansour, Nadezda A Fursova ... Tom Misteli
    Single-cell analysis fails to find a functional link between the organization of chromatin domain organization and gene activity.

    Single-cell RNA-seq reveals trans-sialidase-like superfamily gene expression heterogeneity in Trypanosoma cruzi populations

    Lucas Inchausti, Lucia Bilbao ... Pablo Smircich
    Transcriptomic heterogeneity in infective-stage surface proteins of Trypanosoma cruzi, particularly trans-sialidase-like superfamily members, suggests distinct expression profiles among individual parasites that may enhance immune evasion and infection adaptability.
