The Synaptic Leap

The Malaria genome is largely unexplored (~65% of ORF are annotated as hypothetical proteins). We intend to provide the Malaria community with tools to use, analyze and annotate the known data about all proteins in the Malaria genome. We believe that “collective knowledge” can contribute to a large efforts which could not be accomplished by the individuals alone. The use of open source methods and the tools to initiate research collaborations within the Malaria community, will help towards identifying the most promising targets and compounds for drug discovery against Malaria.

All malaria projects currently in process should be created as child pages to this page.  See the "add child" link at the bottom if you want to initiate a new open research project for malaria.
