Abstract

Sexual differentiation of malaria parasites is essential for transmission, yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Russell et al. elegantly combined a loss-of-function screen with single-cell RNA-sequencing to identify key factors in this process. Gomes et al. further characterized one of them, MD1, as a regulator contributing to male fate determination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
