This study uses a genetic cross of Plasmodium falciparum isolates to analyze the roles of pfcrt and pm2/3 in piperaquine resistance and fitness traits.

This study uses single-cell sequencing to analyze within-host diversity of Plasmodium falciparum in malaria patients, revealing up to seventeen unique lineages per patient and suggesting co-transmission from a single mosquito is more common than superinfection.

This paper develops a single-cell genomics protocol to reconstruct haplotypes of Plasmodium falciparum parasites and analyzes 48 cells from a malaria infection to estimate clonality and haplotype relatedness.

The paper uses longitudinal genomic data from Plasmodium falciparum isolates in Thailand to identify genetic markers associated with artemisinin resistance, finding significant changes in SNPs beyond kelch13.
