* Size estimated from pulsed field gels (see chromosome nomenclature)

** Current funding at NIH may not be sufficient to finish these chromosomes. Submission for renewal of the NIH-funded grant to TIGR will request sufficient to finish the megabase chromosomes, including VII, VIII and any remaining of III and V.

Chromosome sizes for P. falciparum were determined by sequencing or optical mapping (Lai, Z., J. Jing, et al. (1999). "A shotgun optical map of the entire Plasmodium falciparum genome." Nature Genetics 23: 309-313).
