- You can find many reference genomes of model organisms in Ensembl at http://www.ensembl.org/info/data/ftp/index.html.
- As usual, National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) also provides a large list of genomes at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/browse/.
- There are plenty of websites dedicated to a single organism (or a set of related organisms). Apart from PlasmoDB (http://plasmodb.org/plasmo/), from which you downloaded the P. falciparum genome, you will find VectorBase (https://www.vectorbase.org/) in the next recipe for disease vectors. FlyBase (http://flybase.org/) for Drosophila is also worth mentioning, but do not forget to search for your organism of interest.
