Congrats to the lab! We were parasites of parasite data, and recovered DNA sequences from Hepatocystis (a close relative of human malaria parasites) from 37 wild non-human primates originally sequenced to look at the host genome, whose blood happened to be sampled while infected. shorturl.at/KluV8
Phylogenetics and genomic variation of Hepatocystis isolated from shotgun sequencing of wild primate hosts
Author summary Non-human primates are hosts to many species of Plasmodium, the parasites that cause malaria, and a closely related group of parasites called Hepatocystis. However, due to restrictions ...
