Sialic acids are acidic sugars that terminate glycan chains on proteins or lipids on vertebrate cell surfaces. They vary greatly in structure, presentation and amount, all of which are important physiologically, but can ...
A Tale of Brothers, Sisters, Aunts and Uncles: Using Genomics and Modeling to Uncover the Nature of P. Falciparum Polygenomic Infections and Cotransmission
(2018-01-17)
A curious feature of malaria epidemiology is the presence of polygenomic (multiple strain) infections in natural parasite populations. Polygenomic infections are an important aspect of malaria transmission and a necessary ...
