This paper completes the human malaria genome set by presenting reference genomes for Plasmodium malariae and P. ovale, revealing unique genomic features and cryptic species within P. ovale.

This paper develops a method to sequence Plasmodium falciparum genomes from dried blood spots using selective whole genome amplification, achieving high concordance with venous blood samples.

This paper estimates inbreeding coefficients in Plasmodium falciparum clinical isolates using genomic data, showing they serve as a proxy for strain mixture models.

This study analyzes admixture patterns in 48 African populations, revealing recent gene flow and shared ancestry due to historical migrations and agricultural expansions.

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.
