Project description:To investigate the DNA-binding property of homeodomain-like domain of Plasmodium berghei HDP1, DNA immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (DIP-seq) analysis were performed. Recombinant homeodomain-like domain fused with glutathione S-transferase were mixed with the P. berghei genomic DNA fragmented via sonication, and protein-DNA complex was harvested using glutathione-sepharose resin. The obtained DNA fragments were sequenced via the next generation sequencing.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of gametocyte non-producer lines in Plasmodium berghei Transcriptome of gametocyte non producer lines (natural and genetic KO) and parental (820) lines. The aim of the study was to identify key genes involved in the decision to commit to gametocytogenesis in Plasmodium berghei. These microarrays compare naturally selected lines that do not produce gametocytes, and the parental line and additionally a genetic knock out of AP2-G PBANKA_143750. Data published Sinha, Hughes, et, al Nature tbc.
