Plasmodium gallinaceum

P.gallinaceum is an avian parasite with traditional strengths for use in investigating transmission in Aedes mosquitoes, but a recent progression has been study if its development in Drosophila.

[Genome Research Limited]

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute Pathogen Genomics group is undertaking partial shotgun sequencing of a number of different species of Plasmodium. This will serve as auseful comparative genomics resource to complement the complete Plasmodium falciparum genome. This work is being done in collaboration with Chris Newbold (Oxford) and Mike Turner (Glasgow).

Published Genome Data

P. gallinaceum genomic DNA was provided by Dr.Thomas McCutchan (NIH/NIAID) and by Dr. J. Vinetz (UCSD) and small insert libraries were constructed in the pUC18 vector. Both ends of the insert are being sequenced to give a three-fold coverage.

Data Use Statement

This sequencing centre plans on publishing the completed and annotated sequences in a peer-reviewed journal as soon as possible. Permission of the principal investigator should be obtained before publishing analyses of the sequence/open reading frames/genes on a chromosome or genome scale. See our data sharing policy.
