Vectors and phenotype evidence for Plasmodium research

PlasmoGEM connects free genetic tools with gene-function data from barcode screens across the parasite life cycle.

DNA vectors

The largest reagent set is for Plasmodium berghei ANKA, with resources for other Plasmodium species also available. Search plasmids, inspect vector designs and download sequences.

Phenotypes and gene function

Barcoded PlasmoGEM reagents have enabled genetic screens across the parasite life cycle. Search and download more than 12,000 P. berghei phenotype measurements.

An open community resource

PlasmoGEM began at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and continues at Umeå University, with reagents distributed from the Sanger Institute.
