Genome-Wide Patterns of Genetic Polymorphism and Signatures of Selection in Plasmodium vivax
17 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
Plasmodium vivax is the most prevalent human malaria parasite outside of Africa. Yet, studies aimed to identify genes with signatures consistent with natural selection are rare. Here, we present a comparative analysis of the pattern of genetic variation of five sequenced isolates of P. vivax and its divergence with two closely related species, Plasmodium cynomolgi and Plasmodium knowlesi, using a set of...
