摘要
Genome analysis of the Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasite already is identifying genes relevant to therapeutic and vaccine-related research. The genetic blueprint of P. falciparum will ultimately need to be understood at multiple levels of an integrated system and will provide a detailed account of the life processes of the parasite and of the devastating disease it causes.
