Plasmodium falciparum Genome Project


Chromosome 3			1060087 bp

Status		Finished and annotated sequence

Current	7-3-2003	The sequence was derived using a whole chromsome shotgun (WCS) strategy with additional data derived from skims of mapped YAC clones. The final sequence was verified by analysis of the known STS dataset derived from the Malaria Mapping Project (Jenny Thompson & Alan Cowman, WEHI) and the Genetic Mapping Initiative (Xin-zhaun Su & Tom Wellems, NIH).
