FIRE @ MPM2007 September 15, 2007

If you are attending the Molecular Parasitology meeting at Woods Hole this year, make sure you hear the talk by Erandi in Manuel Llinas’ lab at Princeton. Using protein binding microarrays (PBM), Manuel, his group and his Harvard collaborators have validated 3 of the Plasmodium falciparum motifs we predicted using FIRE in our forthcoming Molecular Cell paper. Their excellent work also happens to be the first characterization of specific DNA-binding proteins in Plasmodium.
