An improved Plasmodium cynomolgi genome assembly reveals an unexpected methyltransferase gene expansion
16 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Plasmodium cynomolgi, a non-human primate malaria parasite species, has been an important model parasite since its discovery in 1907. Similarities in the biology of P. cynomolgi to the closely related, but less tractable, human malaria parasite P. vivax make it the model parasite of choice for liver biology and vaccine studies pertinent to P. vivax malaria. Molecular and genome-scale...
