Recurrent bottlenecks in the malaria life cycle obscure signals of positive selection.

Parasitology - 1 Feb 2015

Chang Hsiao-Han, Hartl Daniel L

Abstract excerpt

Detecting signals of selection in the genome of malaria parasites is a key to identify targets for drug and vaccine development. Malaria parasites have a unique life cycle alternating between vector and host organism with a population bottleneck at each transition. These recurrent bottlenecks cou...
