Leveraging genomic insights from the neglected malaria parasites P. malariae and P. ovale using selective whole genome amplification (SWGA) approach by Fathia Ben-Rached, Amit Kumar Subudhi, Chang Li, Mariah Alawi, Rohit Satyam, Sui Xu, Guoding Zhu, Raeece Naeem, Sara Mfarrej, Di Liu, Zenaida Stead, Caroline Askonas, Yaobao Liu, Jun Cao, Arnab Pain

“…On average, P. malariae had 93% of the genome covered by ≥ 10 reads; parallel improvements in genome coverage were achieved for both P. ovale spp. with 81% on average of the genome covered by ≥ 10 reads. Consequently, the detection of thousands of additional SNPs not detectable in pre-SWGA samples was facilitated after SWGA, allowing more substantial downstream population genomics analysis, particularly for the polymorphic and antimalarial genes of great interest for all the species. …”
