The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum thrives in radically different host environments in mosquitoes and humans, with only a limited set of transcription factors. The nature of regulatory elements or their target genes in the P. falciparum genome remains elusive. Here, we found that this eukaryotic parasite uses an efficient way to maximally use genetic and epigenetic regulation to form regulatory units (RUs) during blood infections. Genes located in the same RU tend to have the same ...[more]
