Abstract:
With the publication of the complete sequences for chromosomes 2 and 3 and the increasing availability of shotgun sequence covering most of its genome, Plasmodium falciparum biology is entering its post-genomic era. Analysis of the results generated to date has identified higher-order organisation of gene families involved in parasite pathology, provided information regarding the unique biology of this parasite and allowed the identification of potential chemotherapeutic drug targets. Continuing efforts to complete the P. falciparum genome and the availability of sequences from other protozoan parasites will facilitate a broader understanding of their biology, particularly with respect to their pathogenicity.
