Abstract
The recent completion of the genome sequence of Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 provides the foundation for genome-wide analysis of the parasite. In addition to DNA and gene sequence data, postgenomic methods including microarray-based transcript profiling and high-throughput proteomics are now accessible to Plasmodium researchers. The Plasmodium Genome database (<http://PlasmoDB.org>) was developed to provide rapid and convenient access to the terabytes of genomic-scale data now being generated around the world. All data are available in a relational framework, permitting convenient downloading, browsing, and analysis. Combinatorial use of data analysis tools enables powerful data mining queries, such as combining gene and protein expression data to monitor changes through various life-cycle stages. Functional predictions can be used to explore potential targets for antimalarial drug development. This report outlines the use of PlasmoDB to examine redox-active functions in Plasmodium.
