Title | Genome sequencing of Plasmodium cynomolgi B strain |
Study Type | Whole Genome Sequencing |
Abstract | Plasmodium cynomolgi (B strain) (ATCC #30129) obtained from an experimentally infected Macaca fuscata was sequenced by massive sequencing to de novo construct the parasite genome. P. cynomolgi is a monkey malaria parasite and the closest relative to a human malaria parasite P. vivax, hence comparati .. [more]ve genomics of P. vivax with P. cynomolgi will lead to elucidation of P. vivax-specific genomic changes associated with the infectivity to humans. [less] |
