Table 1 Matched cell cycle related orthologues of P. falciparum and yeast transcriptomes perturbed in cell cycle arrest and re-initiation. P. falciparum parasite transcripts were matched to cell cycle associated transcripts from non-quiescent and quiescent yeast transcriptomes37,38 (www.yeastgenome.org).
