The Fragmented Mitochondrial Ribosomal RNAs of Plasmodium falciparum

22 Jun 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The mitochondrial genome in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is most unusual. Over half the genome is composed of the genes for three classic mitochondrial proteins: cytochrome oxidase subunits I and III and apocytochrome b. The remainder encodes numerous small RNAs, ranging in size from 23 to 190 nt. Previous analysis revealed that some of these transcripts have significant sequence...
