Evolutionary analyses of Plasmodium genomes

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium is the genus responsible for causing malaria in humans, killing more than 400,000 individuals a year. Species from the genus are also capable of infecting different primate, avian and rodent species. In this thesis I use previously published genomic data to investigate several aspects of Plasmodium evolution. I compare mutation rates and the strength of selective constraint across different subgenera of...
