Strong positive selection biases identity-by-descent-based inferences of recent demography and population structure in Plasmodium falciparum
20 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
Malaria genomic surveillance often estimates parasite genetic relatedness using metrics such as Identity-By-Decent (IBD), yet strong positive selection stemming from antimalarial drug resistance or other interventions may bias IBD-based estimates. In this study, we use simulations, a true IBD inference algorithm, and empirical data sets from different malaria transmission settings to investigate the extent of...
