New! A Eukaryotic Genome Annotation and Analysis Training Course is being offered at TIGR. More information and the registration form are available here. The International Malaria Genome Sequencing Consortium was formed in 1996 to sequence the genome of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, clone 3D7. The publication reporting the genome sequence of P. falciparum will appear in the October 3, 2002 issue of Nature. The genome was sequenced by three groups: The Institute for Genomic Research and the Malaria Program of the Naval Medical Research Center (chromosomes 2, 10, 11 and 14), The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (chromosomes 1, 3-9, 13) and Stanford University (chromosome 12).The annotation section of this site provides access to the complete annotated sequence of all the chromosomes. The PlasmoDB website at the University of Pennsylvania also provides access genome data produced by the consortium. Funding for the sequencing performed at TIGR was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Wellcome Trust, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, and the US Department of Defense.
A brief summary of the Plasmodium falciparum genome project and a detailed description of the sequencing strategy. Sequence and annotation for all Plasmodium falciparum chromosomes Links to Information on Malaria and Plasmodium falciparum sequencing project available from other sites.
