Fertilization of an egg by more than one sperm, a condition known as polyspermy, leads to gross chromosomal abnormalities and is embryonic lethal for most animals. Consequently, eggs have evolved...

Cyst formation is a key feature of the T. gondii life cycle but the genetic networks that drive this process are not yet fully characterized. To identify new components of this network, we compared...
