Our user comments campaign may be over, but your user comments are welcome and valuable EVERYDAY!
Crowdsourced user knowledge fuels discovery and helps keep gene data accurate, accessible, and impactful. Visit any gene page on @veupathdb.org or component sites to add a comment!
The final tally of the @veupathdb.org user comments campaign at #MPM2025: Most user comments were entered on AmoebaDB followed by PlasmoDB, and then ToxoDB. 🎉
🏆The real winners: All VEuPathDB users, who benefit from current and reliable gene information!
You can explore the full scRNAseq data on the same gene page: cryptodb.org/cryptodb/app...
The @veupathdb.org user comments campaign at #MPM2025 yielded 200 user comments from 66 attendees! Thanks, contributors 💐
For example: a comment on gene cgd5_3570 on CryptoDB pointed out that GGC proteins exhibit male-specific expression according to single-cell RNA seq. Good to know!
Fungi can be found everywhere. People can get fungal diseases from contact with an infected animal, skin scrapes that are exposed to fungi in dirt or plants, and from breathing fungal spores in the air.
