Abstract excerpt
Genetic cross is a powerful tool for studying malaria genes contributing to drug resistance, parasite development, and pathogenesis. Cloning and identification of recombinant progeny (RP) is laborious and expensive, especially when a large proportion of progeny derived from self-fertilization are present in the uncloned progeny of a genetic cross. Since the frequency of cross-fertilization affects the number of...
