Heterogeneous constraint and adaptation across the malaria parasite life cycle

2025-02-12

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary forces vary across genomes, creating disparities in how traits evolve. In organisms with complex life cycles, it is unclear how intrinsic differences among discrete life stages impact evolution. We looked for life history-driven changes in patterns of adaptation in Plasmodium falciparum , a malaria-causing parasite with a multi-stage life cycle. Categorizing genes based on their expression in differe...
