Consistent and contrasting properties of lineage-specific genes in the apicomplexan parasites <it>Plasmodium </it>and <it>Theileria</it>
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Lineage-specific genes, the genes that are restricted to a limited subset of related organisms, may be important in adaptation. In parasitic organisms, lineage-specific gene products are possible targets for vaccine development or th...
