The research team used selective amplification to sequence whole genomes of the parasites, revealing new information about how they evolved to infect human hosts.
The scientists used their method, called PS-ChAP, to gain insight into cellular phosphorylation signaling pathways in chromatin down to the gene level.
The researchers said that long non-coding RNAs showed more specificity to different cancer types than protein-coding genes, making them important, precise biomarkers.
The funding will be used to investigate the role of long, non-coding RNAs in both the normal development and stress responses of various plant species.
