Using scRNA-seq to Identify Transcriptional Variation in the Malaria Parasite Ookinete Stage
The crossing of the mosquito midgut epithelium by the malaria parasite motile ookinete form represents the most extreme population bottleneck in the parasite life cycle and is a prime target for transmission blocking strategies. However, we have little understanding of the clonal variation that exis...
