Quantitative genome re-sequencing defines multiple mutations conferring chloroq...
Kinga Modrzynska, Katarzyna; Creasey, Alison; Loewe, Laurence; Cezard, Timothee; Trindade Borges, Sofia; Martinelli, Axel; Rodrigues, LouiseBackground: Drug resistance in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum severely compromises the treatment and control of malaria. A knowledge of the critical mutations conferring resistance to particular drugs is important in understanding modes of drug action and mechanisms of resistances. They are required to design better therapies and limit drug resistance.A mutation in the gene (pfcrt) encoding a membra...
Experimental evolution, genetic analysis and genome re-sequencing reveal the mu...
Hunt, Paul; Martinelli, Axel; Modrzynska, Katarzyna; Borges, Sofia; Creasey, Alison; Rodrigues, Louise; Beraldi, Dario; Loewe, LaurenceBackground: Classical and quantitative linkage analyses of genetic crosses have traditionally been used to map genes of interest, such as those conferring chloroquine or quinine resistance in malaria parasites. Next-generation sequencing technologies now present the possibility of determining genome-wide genetic variation at single base-pair resolution. Here, we combine in vivo experimental evolution, a rapid g...
