Systematic in vitro evolution in Plasmodium falciparum reveals key determinants of drug resistance

Abstract excerpt

Surveillance of drug resistance and the discovery of novel targets—key objectives in the fight against malaria—rely on identifying resistance-conferring mutations in Plasmodium parasites. Current approaches, while successful, require laborious experimentation or large sample sizes. To elucidate shared determinants of antimalarial resistance that can empower in silico inference, we examined the genomes of 724...
