Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is becoming increasingly helpful to assist malaria control programs. A major drawback of this approach is the large amount of human DNA compared to parasite DNA extracted from unprocessed whole blood. As red blood cells (RBCs) have a diameter of about 7-8 μm and exhibit some deformability, we hypothesized that cheap and commercially available 5...
