| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Genome of Plasmodium gonderi, a malaria-causing parasite of african monkey, was analyzed. We obtained a total of 8.0 Gb nucleotide data from the combination of PacBio RS and Miseq (Next Generation Sequencer). Nucleotide data was assembled at 16 supercontigs (14 is corresponding to the 14 parasite chromosomes, one is the mitochondria genome and one is the plastid genome). 5,180 genes were identified from 14 chromosomes. Synteny was well conserved among 7 closely related malaria species. The gene number of antigen multigene families, blood cell binbing genes (DBL, RBL etc) were varied, but other genes were well conserved. From the comparative genome analysis, it was suggested that the gain/loss of duffy binding like protein genes was relateded to the host switch between human and monkey.
