Refining the transcriptome of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum using amplification-free RNA-seq

Abstract Background Plasmodium parasites undergo several major developmental transitions during their complex lifecycle, which are enabled by precisely ordered gene expression programs. Transcriptomes from the 48-h blood stages of the major human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have been desc...
