Single-cell RNA-seq references for the Plasmodium genus.

Left: Single-cell transcriptomes from across the life cycle of Plasmodium berghei were profiled (including liver, blood, and mosquito life stages). Center: Deep exploration of blood-stage parasites captured transcriptomic diversity at single-cell resolution across three different Plasmodium species by droplet sequencing. Right: Such datasets can serve as references to understand wild parasites isolated from clinical samples.
