Functional genomics of Plasmodium falciparum through transposon-mediated mutagenesis

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium falciparum is the causative agent for the most lethal form of human malaria, killing millions annually. Genetic analyses of P. falciparum have been relatively limited due to the lack of robust techniques to manipulate this parasite. Development of transfection technologies and whole genome analyses have helped in understanding the complex biology of this parasite. Even with this wealth of information...
