    Comparative genomics of the neglected human malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax (2008)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2008-10-10
    Description: The human malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax is responsible for 25-40% of the approximately 515 million annual cases of malaria worldwide. Although seldom fatal, the parasite elicits severe and incapacitating clinical symptoms and often causes relapses months after a primary infection has cleared. Despite its importance as a major human pathogen, P. vivax is little studied because it cannot be propagated continuously in the laboratory except in non-human primates. We sequenced the genome of P. vivax to shed light on its distinctive biological features, and as a means to drive development of new drugs and vaccines. Here we describe the synteny and isochore structure of P. vivax chromosomes, and show that the parasite resembles other malaria parasites in gene content and metabolic potential, but possesses novel gene families and potential alternative invasion pathways not recognized previously. Completion of the P. vivax genome provides the scientific community with a valuable resource that can be used to advance investigation into this neglected species.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2651158/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2651158/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Carlton, Jane M -- Adams, John H -- Silva, Joana C -- Bidwell, Shelby L -- Lorenzi, Hernan -- Caler, Elisabet -- Crabtree, Jonathan -- Angiuoli, Samuel V -- Merino, Emilio F -- Amedeo, Paolo -- Cheng, Qin -- Coulson, Richard M R -- Crabb, Brendan S -- Del Portillo, Hernando A -- Essien, Kobby -- Feldblyum, Tamara V -- Fernandez-Becerra, Carmen -- Gilson, Paul R -- Gueye, Amy H -- Guo, Xiang -- Kang'a, Simon -- Kooij, Taco W A -- Korsinczky, Michael -- Meyer, Esmeralda V-S -- Nene, Vish -- Paulsen, Ian -- White, Owen -- Ralph, Stuart A -- Ren, Qinghu -- Sargeant, Tobias J -- Salzberg, Steven L -- Stoeckert, Christian J -- Sullivan, Steven A -- Yamamoto, Marcio M -- Hoffman, Stephen L -- Wortman, Jennifer R -- Gardner, Malcolm J -- Galinski, Mary R -- Barnwell, John W -- Fraser-Liggett, Claire M -- N01 AI030071/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI064478/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI064478-05/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM070793/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM070793-01A2/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM083873/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 LM006845/LM/NLM NIH HHS/ -- R01 LM006845-09/LM/NLM NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2008 Oct 9;455(7214):757-63. doi: 10.1038/nature07327.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The Institute for Genomic Research/J.

    Genome sequence of Theileria parva, a bovine pathogen that transforms lymphocytes (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-07-05
    Description: We report the genome sequence of Theileria parva, an apicomplexan pathogen causing economic losses to smallholder farmers in Africa. The parasite chromosomes exhibit limited conservation of gene synteny with Plasmodium falciparum, and its plastid-like genome represents the first example where all apicoplast genes are encoded on one DNA strand. We tentatively identify proteins that facilitate parasite segregation during host cell cytokinesis and contribute to persistent infection of transformed host cells. Several biosynthetic pathways are incomplete or absent, suggesting substantial metabolic dependence on the host cell. One protein family that may generate parasite antigenic diversity is not telomere-associated.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gardner, Malcolm J -- Bishop, Richard -- Shah, Trushar -- de Villiers, Etienne P -- Carlton, Jane M -- Hall, Neil -- Ren, Qinghu -- Paulsen, Ian T -- Pain, Arnab -- Berriman, Matthew -- Wilson, Robert J M -- Sato, Shigeharu -- Ralph, Stuart A -- Mann, David J -- Xiong, Zikai -- Shallom, Shamira J -- Weidman, Janice -- Jiang, Lingxia -- Lynn, Jeffery -- Weaver, Bruce -- Shoaibi, Azadeh -- Domingo, Alexander R -- Wasawo, Delia -- Crabtree, Jonathan -- Wortman, Jennifer R -- Haas, Brian -- Angiuoli, Samuel V -- Creasy, Todd H -- Lu, Charles -- Suh, Bernard -- Silva, Joana C -- Utterback, Teresa R -- Feldblyum, Tamara V -- Pertea, Mihaela -- Allen, Jonathan -- Nierman, William C -- Taracha, Evans L N -- Salzberg, Steven L -- White, Owen R -- Fitzhugh, Henry A -- Morzaria, Subhash -- Venter, J Craig -- Fraser, Claire M -- Nene, Vishvanath -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Jul 1;309(5731):134-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), 9712 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD 20850, USA. gardner@tigr.org〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15994558" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Comparative genomics of trypanosomatid parasitic protozoa (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-07-16
    Description: A comparison of gene content and genome architecture of Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi, and Leishmania major, three related pathogens with different life cycles and disease pathology, revealed a conserved core proteome of about 6200 genes in large syntenic polycistronic gene clusters. Many species-specific genes, especially large surface antigen families, occur at nonsyntenic chromosome-internal and subtelomeric regions. Retroelements, structural RNAs, and gene family expansion are often associated with syntenic discontinuities that-along with gene divergence, acquisition and loss, and rearrangement within the syntenic regions-have shaped the genomes of each parasite. Contrary to recent reports, our analyses reveal no evidence that these species are descended from an ancestor that contained a photosynthetic endosymbiont.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉El-Sayed, Najib M -- Myler, Peter J -- Blandin, Gaelle -- Berriman, Matthew -- Crabtree, Jonathan -- Aggarwal, Gautam -- Caler, Elisabet -- Renauld, Hubert -- Worthey, Elizabeth A -- Hertz-Fowler, Christiane -- Ghedin, Elodie -- Peacock, Christopher -- Bartholomeu, Daniella C -- Haas, Brian J -- Tran, Anh-Nhi -- Wortman, Jennifer R -- Alsmark, U Cecilia M -- Angiuoli, Samuel -- Anupama, Atashi -- Badger, Jonathan -- Bringaud, Frederic -- Cadag, Eithon -- Carlton, Jane M -- Cerqueira, Gustavo C -- Creasy, Todd -- Delcher, Arthur L -- Djikeng, Appolinaire -- Embley, T Martin -- Hauser, Christopher -- Ivens, Alasdair C -- Kummerfeld, Sarah K -- Pereira-Leal, Jose B -- Nilsson, Daniel -- Peterson, Jeremy -- Salzberg, Steven L -- Shallom, Joshua -- Silva, Joana C -- Sundaram, Jaideep -- Westenberger, Scott -- White, Owen -- Melville, Sara E -- Donelson, John E -- Andersson, Bjorn -- Stuart, Kenneth D -- Hall, Neil -- AI045039/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI45038/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI45061/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI043062/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI040599/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI043062/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI045038/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI045039/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Jul 15;309(5733):404-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Genomic Research, 9712 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD 20850, USA. nelsayed@tigr.org〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16020724" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
