Superimposing two-dimensional gels to study genetic variation in malaria parasites.

Abstract excerpt

Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is a valuable tool for studying genetic variation in the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. It involves examining the position of protein spots in gel produced from different isolates. Some spots have been seen to vary, while others have had a constant position in all isolates so far examined. These invariant spots provide a reference frame to compare...
