Abstract excerpt
Developmental steps in the trypanosome life-cycle involve transition between replicative and non-replicative forms specialised for survival in, and transmission between, mammalian and tsetse fly hosts. Here, using oligopeptide-induced differentiation in vitro, we model the progressive development of replicative 'slender' to transmissible 'stumpy' bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei and capture the transcriptomes...
