A new pre-print from Sanjay et al which utilises data from the fantastic MalariaGEN resource. An interesting story of parallel evolution between distant species

Delving into MalariaGEN's "treasure trove" of #genomic data, Olivo Miotto and partners have discovered a #malaria parasite 'cryptotype' scattered thinly across Africa. 🧬 But what might the combination of rare variations in their genome do? Read more ⬇️ malariagen.net/article/hidden…

Last paper by Dominic Kwiatkowski MalariaGEN published today: Modelling transmission dynamics and genomic diversity in a recombining parasite population, wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/9-215

Dominic was a giant in malaria genomics and founder of MalariaGEN . He was also my great friend. Working with his family and the wonderful team at WellcomeOpenResearch to bring this paper into the world has been emotionally challenging and a true privilege. So pleased it’s out!

Congratulations to Moses Nkechukwu Ikegbunam and Éniyóu Cheryll Oriero, recipients of the inaugural Dominic Kwiatkowski Genomic Epidemiology of Malaria Award! 👏 Ikegbunam Moses N and Eniyou (pronounced Ey-ni-yow) are inspirational researchers with incredible potential who are carrying on Dominic’s legacy.

If you use malariagen data resources and/or think they could be better, please take a moment to fill in this survey 🙏🙏🙏

This is my last post on this platform. We'll meet somewhere else, hopefully somewhere better, somewhere where the victims of child abuse are not used as political currency. Hope you'll all have a peaceful 2025.
