Abstract:
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from Plasmodium falciparum was isolated by conventional differential centrifugation in an SS34 rotor, a simpler method than CsC1 centrifugation of total DNA as employed by other workers. The nature of the sample was verified by sequencing a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product obtained using oligonucleotide primers derived from known malarial mtDNA sequence.
