Plasmodium interspersed repeats: the major multigene superfamily of malaria parasites

28 Oct 2004

Abstract excerpt

Functionally related homologues of known genes can be difficult to identify in divergent species. In this paper, we show how multi-character analysis can be used to elucidate the relationships among divergent members of gene superfamilies. We used probabilistic modelling in conjunction with protein structural predictions and gene-structure analyses on a whole-genome scale to find gene homologies that are missed...
