title: Genome sequencing sheds light on emerging drug resistance in malaria parasites.
abstract: Plasmodium falciparum in Southeast Asia are gradually becoming resistant to artemesinin, a standard first-line treatment for malaria. Whole-genome sequencing offers a chance to better understand and perhaps undermine the parasite's evolutionary response to this drug.
