Exploration of the Resistome and Druggable Genome Reveals New Mechanisms of Drug Resistance and Antimalarial Targets

Plasmodium parasites, the causative agent of malaria infections, rapidly evolve drug resistance and escape detection by the human immune response via the incredible mutability of its genome. Understanding the genetic mechanisms by which Plasmodium parasites develop antimalarial resistance is essenti...
