Code and data for maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) of P. falciparum age from RNA-seq data

The original R code was written by Avi Feller and Jacob Lemieux and is described in this publication: Lemieux JE, Gomez-Escobar N, Feller A, Carret C, Amambua-Ngwa A, Pinches R, Day F, Kyes SA, Conway DJ, Holmes CC and Newbold CI (2009): Statistical estimation of cell-cycle progression and lineage commitment in Plasmodium falciparum reveals a homogeneous pattern of transcription in ex vivo culture. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 106(18), 7559-7564 doi: 10.1073/pnas.0811829106 <a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.0811829106">https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.0811829106</a> In this deposition, the original R script is adapted for command-line use. For usage instructions, see file "README.md". Furthermore, this deposition contains RNA-seq data for P. falciparum 3D7 cultured with blood from individuals with high, normal or low iron status (experiment 1) or with blood from a healthy donor in the presence vs. absence of 0.7 µM hepcidin (experiment 2) at 6 – 9 and 26 – 29 hours post erythrocyte invasion (hpi).

(<a href="https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.04.18.590068v1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">biorxiv</a>).
