Deep learning analyses of DNA sequences resolve the retention of the Duffy-null resistance to Plasmodium vivax malaria in Africa

The paper uses deep learning to analyze DNA sequences and shows that the Duffy-null allele, protective against P. vivax, was retained in Africa due to selection pressures, with evidence of its spread linked to the Bantu expansion.
