PCR Primers for Plasmodium Cardiolipin Synthase Knockout Studies

PCR primers used to investigate the role of cardiolipin synthase in malaria parasite development. The dataset is a 9.4 KB Excel file authored by Karavadra Asha Adhur and last updated in May 2026. It supports a study showing the enzyme is vital for mitochondrial function and liver-stage maturation in Plasmodium parasites.

Use Cases

• Designing genetic knockout experiments based on the described Plasmodium cardiolipin synthase gene.
• Studying mitochondrial membrane potential and oxygen consumption in parasites based on the described knockout model.
• Investigating the localization of cardiolipin synthase in asexual and sexual blood stages based on the antibody staining results.
• Analyzing the impact of cardiolipin synthesis on parasite life cycle progression from mosquito to liver stages.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File size is 9.4 KB, making it quick to download and inspect.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
