Whole-genome characterization of Plasmodium falciparum population structure and drug resistance across Uganda and neighboring countries

The paper characterizes the population structure and drug resistance of Plasmodium falciparum in Uganda and neighboring countries using whole-genome data, identifying key resistance-associated haplotypes.

PfPHAST: Plasmodium falciparum Public Health Amplicon Sequencing Tool, a Streamlined Panel for Malaria Genomic Surveillance

PfPHAST is a streamlined amplicon sequencing panel for malaria genomic surveillance, offering better quality control and cost efficiency than MAD4HatTeR without sacrificing performance on shared targets.

A novel locus associated with decreased susceptibility of Plasmodium falciparum to lumefantrine and dihydroartemisinin has emerged and spread in Uganda

Highly multiplex molecular inversion probe panel in Plasmodium falciparum targeting common SNPs approximates whole genome sequencing assessments for selection and relatedness

The paper develops a targeted sequencing panel for Plasmodium falciparum that approximates whole genome sequencing for population genetics analyses.
