MalariaGEN & PlasmoDB

MalariaGEN — the Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Network, co-ordinated from the Wellcome Sanger Institute — is a global partnership generating and sharing genomic data on the malaria parasite (Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax), its Anopheles vectors and the human host. Its open releases (MalariaGEN Pf, Pv, Ag and others) underpin much of contemporary malaria-genomics research, including drug-resistance surveillance.

PlasmoDB, part of the VEuPathDB family at the Eukaryotic Pathogen, Vector and Host Informatics Resource, is the functional-genomics workbench for Plasmodium — genomes, annotations, transcriptomics, proteomics, phenotypes and a comprehensive query and analysis environment. Together they form the data substrate of malaria research.
