This work was done as part of the Malaria Genome Sequencing Consortium. Sequencing was separated by chromosome among three centers:

• The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (chromosomes 1, 3-9, 13),
• The Institute for Genomic Research/Naval Medical Research Institute (chromosomes 2, 10-11, 14), and
• Stanford University (chromosome 12).

The project work in the USA was funded by the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the US Department of Defense. The project work in the UK was funded by The Wellcome Trust.

All of the P. falciparum genome sequence data generated within the Malaria Genome Consortium is available at PlasmoDB. The data have also been deposited in the major databases. The P. falciparum chromosome 12 sequence has been submitted to GenBank, accession number AE014188.
