Description:
Large-scale studies of genomic variation could assist efforts to eliminate malaria. But there are scientific, ethical and practical challenges to carrying out such studies in developing countries, where the burden of disease is greatest. The Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Network (MalariaGEN) is now working to overcome these obstacles, using a consortial approach that brings together researchers from 21 countries.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3758999/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3758999/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Network -- 076934/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 077383/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 077383/Z/05/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- G0200454/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- G0200454(62635)/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- G0600230/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- G0600230(77610)/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- G0600718/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- G19/9/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2008 Dec 11;456(7223):732-7. doi: 10.1038/nature07632.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The University of Buea, PO Box 63, Buea, South West Province, Cameroon.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19079050" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
