Parasite Genomics
Comparative analyses across apicomplexan genomes reveal evolution, diversity, and adaptation strategies.
Research in the Kissinger lab integrates parasite genomics, bioinformatics infrastructure, and evolutionary and regulatory biology of eukaryotic pathogens, especially Apicomplexa (e.g., Cryptosporidium and Toxoplasma). Our work bridges genome data generation, analysis, and database development, shaping how global researchers access and interpret parasite data.
We integrate computational genomics, functional data, and experimental validation to decode parasite evolution and biology.
We combine genomic discovery, regulatory insight, and bioinformatics infrastructure to advance parasite biology.
Comparative analyses across apicomplexan genomes reveal evolution, diversity, and adaptation strategies.
We map gene regulation and motif architecture to understand life-cycle transitions and host response.
Databases and pipelines translate raw data into accessible resources for the global community.
