Project name: Plasmodium reichenowi strain:CDC

Description: To understand the evolution of the human malaria Plasmodium falciparum, we have sequenced and assembled the genome of its close relative P. reichenowi. Using comparative genomics we have characterized major differences between the species, particularly highlighting those involved in host adaptation.

Data type: Genome sequencing and assembly

Sample scope: Monoisolate
