An analysis of large structural variation in global Plasmodium falciparum isolates identifies a novel duplication of the chloroquine resistance associated gene
4 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
The evolution of genetic mechanisms for host immune evasion and anti-malarial resistance has enabled the Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasite to inflict high morbidity and mortality on human populations. Most studies of P. falciparum genetic diversity have focused on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), assisting the identification of drug resistance-associated loci such as the chloroquine related crt and...
