Molecular systematics of the three mitochondrial protein-coding genes of malaria parasites: Corroborative and new evidence for the origins of human malaria
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The mitochondrial genomes of malaria parasites (Plasmodium and related genera) are extremely small and contain just three protein-coding genes. These short linear genomes are tandemly repeated, allowing for amplification of the entire unit using a single pair of outwardly facing primers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using this approach, I sequenced full mitochondrial genomes for seven new lineages...
