A mutagenesis screen for essential plastid biogenesis genes in human malaria parasites

Endosymbiosis has driven major molecular and cellular innovations. Plasmodium spp. parasites that cause malaria contain an essential, non-photosynthetic plastid—the apicoplast— which originated from a secondary (eukaryote–eukaryote) endosymbiosis. To discover organellar pathways with evolutionary an...
