Consistent and contrasting properties of lineage-specific genes in the apicomplexan parasites Plasmodium and Theileria.

BMC evolutionary biology - 11 Apr 2008

Kuo Chih-Horng, Kissinger Jessica C

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Lineage-specific genes, the genes that are restricted to a limited subset of related organisms, may be important in adaptation. In parasitic organisms, lineage-specific gene products are possible targets for vaccine development or therapeutics when these genes are absent from the host...
