High-efficiency transformation of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> by the lepidopteran transposable element <i>piggyBac</i>
31 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Functional analysis of the Plasmodium falciparum genome is restricted because of the limited ability to genetically manipulate this important human pathogen. We have developed an efficient transposon-mediated insertional mutagenesis method much needed for high-throughput functional genomics of malaria parasites. A drug-selectable marker, human dihydrofolate reductase, added to the lepidopteran transposon...
