A metabolism-chromatin axis promotes ribosome heterogeneity in the human malaria parasite The transmission of the most virulent human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, relies on its survival in the contrasting environments of the human host and mosquito vector. One of the most fasci...

N6-methyladenosine primes the malaria parasite for transmission Sudden environmental changes are a recurring challenge for unicellular organisms, but a necessity for many to progress through their lifecycle. To transmit from its human host to mosquito vector, mala...

Ready for the most beautifully sophisticated m6A modification program out there?

Itโ€™s sex-specific, controls a developmental transition and is temperature-sensitive. Dream team led by Selina, with @ameyasinha.bsky.social @jessmbryant.bsky.social @tizvignolini.bsky.social @ju-couble.bsky.social

Malaria parasites are an extreme example of ribosome heterogeneity. But how do they control which ribosomal RNA to express when?
