Project name: Trypanosoma brucei gambiense

Description: Trypanosoma brucei gambiense is the causative agent of the fatal human disease African sleeping sickness. Here we have compared the transcriptome of two different life cycle stages, the potentially human-infective bloodstream form and the non-human-infective procyclic stage, using digital gene expression (DGE) analysis.Overall design: Digital gene expression analysis was performed on RNA from 3 biological replicates of bloodstream cultured T.b. gambiense strain STIB 386 and compared to that from 3 biological replicates of procyclic cultured T.b. gambiense strain STIB 386.

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression

Sample scope: Multiisolate
