ATAC-ing Transcriptional Mysteries in Malaria Parasites

Publication date: 11 April 2018

Author(s): Catherine J. Merrick
Ever since Plasmodium intraerythrocytic development was reported to proceed via an unusual "hardwired" transcriptional cascade, the control of gene transcription in malaria parasites has been an area of intense investigation. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Toenhake et al. (2018) illuminate this intriguing issue by applying ATAC sequencing.
