Modifications in nucleic acids are present in all three domains of life. More than 170 distinct
chemical modifications have been reported in cellular RNAs to date. Collectively termed as …

The phylum Apicomplexa consists largely of obligate animal parasites that include the
causative agents of human diseases such as malaria. Apicomplexans have also emerged …

Alternative splicing is a widespread phenomenon in metazoans by which single genes are
able to produce multiple isoforms of the gene product. However, this has been poorly …

Malaria parasites have evolved unusual metabolic adaptations that specialize them for
growth within heme-rich human erythrocytes. During blood-stage infection, Plasmodium …

The discovery of a relict plastid, also known as an apicoplast (apicomplexan plastid), that
houses housekeeping processes and metabolic pathways critical to Plasmodium parasites' …

The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum has a nonphotosynthetic plastid called the
apicoplast, which contains its own genome. Regulatory mechanisms for apicoplast gene …

The apicoplast, a relic plastid found in most Apicomplexan parasites, is a notable drug
target. Certain antibiotics elicit a delayed death phenotype by targeting this organelle. Here …

Plasmodium falciparum exclusively harbours a non-photosynthetic plastid-like organelle
called 'apicoplast,'crucial for survival. The apicoplast genome resembles chloroplasts, albeit …

Species within the green algal order Cladophorales have an unconventional plastome
structure where individual coding regions or small numbers of genes occur as linear single …

Malaria has been present since ancient time and remains a major global health problem in
developing countries. Plasmodium falciparum belongs to the phylum Apicomplexan, largely …
