Malaria Parasite Re-Sequencing Uncovers Possible Drug Resistance Genes

Oct 26, 2010

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – By re-sequencing and analyzing the genome of Plasmodium vivax directly from an infected patient's blood, an international research team has identified several genes that appear to be under selection — and may contribute to drug resistance — in the malaria-causing parasite.
