Description:
Malaria elimination strategies require surveillance of the parasite population for genetic changes that demand a public health response, such as new forms of drug resistance. Here we describe methods for the large-scale analysis of genetic variation in Plasmodium falciparum by deep sequencing of parasite DNA obtained from the blood of patients with malaria, either directly or after short-term culture. Analysis of 86,158 exonic single nucleotide polymorphisms that passed genotyping quality control in 227 samples from Africa, Asia and Oceania provides genome-wide estimates of allele frequency distribution, population structure and linkage disequilibrium. By comparing the genetic diversity of individual infections with that of the local parasite population, we derive a metric of within-host diversity that is related to the level of inbreeding in the population. An open-access web application has been established for the exploration of regional differences in allele frequency and of highly differentiated loci in the P. falciparum genome.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3738909/" 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/PMC3738909/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Manske, Magnus -- Miotto, Olivo -- Campino, Susana -- Auburn, Sarah -- Almagro-Garcia, Jacob -- Maslen, Gareth -- O'Brien, Jack -- Djimde, Abdoulaye -- Doumbo, Ogobara -- Zongo, Issaka -- Ouedraogo, Jean-Bosco -- Michon, Pascal -- Mueller, Ivo -- Siba, Peter -- Nzila, Alexis -- Borrmann, Steffen -- Kiara, Steven M -- Marsh, Kevin -- Jiang, Hongying -- Su, Xin-Zhuan -- Amaratunga, Chanaki -- Fairhurst, Rick -- Socheat, Duong -- Nosten, Francois -- Imwong, Mallika -- White, Nicholas J -- Sanders, Mandy -- Anastasi, Elisa -- Alcock, Dan -- Drury, Eleanor -- Oyola, Samuel -- Quail, Michael A -- Turner, Daniel J -- Ruano-Rubio, Valentin -- Jyothi, Dushyanth -- Amenga-Etego, Lucas -- Hubbart, Christina -- Jeffreys, Anna -- Rowlands, Kate -- Sutherland, Colin -- Roper, Cally -- Mangano, Valentina -- Modiano, David -- Tan, John C -- Ferdig, Michael T -- Amambua-Ngwa, Alfred -- Conway, David J -- Takala-Harrison, Shannon -- Plowe, Christopher V -- Rayner, Julian C -- Rockett, Kirk A -- Clark, Taane G -- Newbold, Chris I -- Berriman, Matthew -- MacInnis, Bronwyn -- Kwiatkowski, Dominic P -- 075491/Z/04/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 077012/Z/05/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 082370/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 089275/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 090532/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 090532/Z/09/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 090770/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 090770/Z/09/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 092654/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 093956/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 098051/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 55005502/Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- G0600718/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- G19/9/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2012 Jul 19;487(7407):375-9. doi: 10.1038/nature11174.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Hinxton, Cambridge CB10 1SA, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22722859" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
