Abstract: Last year the sequence of chromosome 2 fromPlasmodium falciparum — the agent that causes malaria — was announced. Now, hot on its heels, comes the sequence of chromosome 3. Each chromosome is equivalent in size to an entire bacterial genome, and, although we still know only 7% of the total P. falciparum sequence, by comparing the two chromosomes we can learn much about how P. falciparumoutwits the immune system.
