Abstract:
The base distribution of the 14 nuclear chromsomes, of the plastid and the
mitochondrion of the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum were studied.
Isochores were discovered in the nuclear chromosomes and found to be consistently
associated with the presence of erythrocyte membrane protein 1 genes. The
centromeres of the nuclear chromosomes were identified by their low GC content.
Base distribution within the genome was found to follow a set of mathematical laws
which were subsequently found to hold in all genomes.
