A transcriptional network required for Toxoplasma gondii tissue cyst formation is dispensable for long-term persistence
biorxiv.org
Cyst formation is a key feature of the T. gondii life cycle but the genetic networks that drive this process are not yet fully characterized. To identify new components of this network, we compared...

Very excited about this (ongoing) project, further unraveling the regulation of chronic-stage differentiation in my favorite parasite. More data still to come but for now, we offer you a preprint!

Congrats @ToxoTyler - the arrays are unleashed! Lots of technical advancements casually made in here, HiT tagging is the Real Deal

Wonderful lab, wonderful people! Great training opportunity
Please RT. We are looking for a new lab tech! Ideally, a highly motivated individual seeking to gain research experience for 1-2 years before heading to graduate school. Great opportunity to learn about infectious diseases in a supportive environment.

In the obligate intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma gondii , the subpellicular microtubules (SPMTs) help maintain shape, while the apical conoid (also tubulin-based) is implicated in invasion. Here,...

Thanks for the awesome writeup @FrickelLab! Even better that it's LOTR-themed "The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards."
@BenManOfWald and @LouridoLab - masters of the BFD1 ring to rule #Toxoplasma chronicity! What a journey! Read my @NatureNV for the synopsis of the tale. One gene to rule them all in a chronic brain infection https://t.co/cpb4pKn8Dc

Delighted to see this out in @NatureMicrobiol This study paves the way for an in vitro #epigenetic reprogramming of #Toxoplasma sexual development, using MORC as a cornerstone. No more Toxo infections in #cat 😇 Bravo @dayanafarhat and coll. https://t.co/6uUjnLbPGV
