Inferring adaptive gene-flow in recent African history

George Busby, Ryan Christ, Gavin Band, Ellen Leffler, Quang Si Le, Kirk Rockett, Dominic Kwiatkowski, Chris Spencer

The paper identifies ancestry deviation regions in sub-Saharan African populations to infer recent adaptive gene-flow contributing to traits like lactose persistence and malaria resistance.

Genomic epidemiology of the current wave of artemisinin resistant malaria

Roberto Amato, Olivo Miotto, Charles Woodrow, Jacob Almagro-Garcia, Ipsita Sinha, Susana Campino, Daniel Mead, Eleanor Drury, Mihir Kekre, Mandy Sanders, Alfred Amambua-Ngwa, Chanaki Amaratunga, Lucas Amenga-Etego, Tim J C Anderson, Voahangy Andrianaranjaka, , MalariaGEN Plasmodium falciparum Community Project

This study identifies kelch13 mutations associated with artemisinin resistance in Southeast Asia and finds low frequency of these mutations in Africa, suggesting different evolutionary pressures.
