Donate today and join the fight to achieve global malaria elimination targets.
Together we can make a significant contribution to achieving malaria elimination targets.
Improving the health of vulnerable communities and changing lives is at the heart of what we do and who we are.
The ability to analyze gene function in malaria-causing Plasmodium parasites has received a boost with a recent paper in BMC Genomics that describes a genome-wide mutagenesis system in the rodent malaria species Plasmodium berghei using the transposon piggyBac. This advance holds promise for identifying and validating new targets for intervention against malaria. But further improvements are still needed for the full power of genome-wide molecular genetic screens to be utilized in this organism.See research article: http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/12/155.
