Hello! V.pleased our new ms about sickle-associated genetic variants in the P.falciparum genome is now out: doi.org/10.1101/2025.... Sterling work by Annie Forster using data from @malariagen.bsky.social and newly generated sequences to meta-analyse across pops - with new findings in CLAG and FIKK.
Associations between sickle haemoglobin and the Plasmodium falciparum CLAG and FIKK gene families revealed by meta-analysis of 6,289 African samples
The recent discovery that mutations in the Plasmodium falciparum genome are overrepresented in infections of sickle haemoglobin (HbS)-carriers has highlighted new questions about the underlying biolog...
