Genome wide collation of zinc finger family in P. falciparum

摘要

FiguresBackground: Despite progress in recent years, malaria continues to be a major public health problem. P. falciparum- the most virulent species of human malaria requires specialized regulation of gene expression for survival in two different hosts. A subset of these regulators belongs to the zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) that are involved in transcription regulation, signal transduction, RNA binding and regulation of apoptosis. The present study identified the first genome-wide analysis of zinc finger family in P.
