The paper investigates whether variation in multiplication rates of Plasmodium falciparum isolates under competitive conditions is determined by their intrinsic potential, finding a strong correlation with exponential growth rates.

The paper identifies a new P. falciparum locus associated with sickle haemoglobin in mild malaria cases from Ghana, replicating previous findings and suggesting further research is needed.

The paper analyzes amplicon sequencing data from 17,384 Plasmodium falciparum samples in West Africa to characterize antimalarial resistance patterns and their geographic distribution.

The paper reprocesses SARS-CoV-2 genomic data to correct systematic errors in phylogenies using a novel assembly tool, resulting in a cleaner global tree of 4.47 million samples.

The paper demonstrates the presence of strain-transcending antibodies against rosetting Plasmodium falciparum strains in humans using flow cytometry and antibody elution experiments.

The paper identifies a cryptotype in Plasmodium falciparum genomes across Africa, characterized by a complex genetic background that is geographically widespread but genetically distinct.

This study implements a Nanopore sequencing workflow for P. falciparum genomic surveillance in Ghana, identifying drug resistance patterns and vaccine antigen variations.
