  • Title: Construction and rapid screening of a representative yeast artificial chromosome library from the Plasmodium falciparum strain Dd2.
    Author: Camargo AA, Fischer K, Lanzer M.
    Journal: Parasitol Res; 1997; 83(1):87-9. PubMed ID: 9000241.
    Abstract:
    Large genomic DNA fragments from the Plasmodium falciparum clone Dd2 have been cloned as artificial chromosomes in yeast (YAC). The resulting library has a 10-fold redundancy for single-copy genes and consists of 1440 individual clones, including 240 telomeric clones, with an average insert size of 150 kb. A novel hybridization method was developed for the rapid and cost-effective screening of protozoan YAC libraries. The Dd2 YAC clones will facilitate a positional approach to the parasite's genes and aid in the dissection of genetic loci associated with the virulence and pathogenicity of P. falciparum.
