Catalogue of Genetic Variation in P. falciparum - v2.2

Released on 26 Sep 2013.

Parasite

An important output of the P. falciparum Community Project is the Catalogue of Genetic Variation in P. falciparum, which includes:

  • Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified via deep sequencing
  • Allele frequencies in different geographical populations
  • Measures of genome accessibility – such as %GC, mapping quality and coverage – to visualise potential difficulties in identifying SNPs and accurately genotyping samples

The data in the Catalogue of Genetic Variation in P. falciparum are periodically updated and made available open access.

Download a previous version Catalogue of Genetic Variation in P. falciparum (v2.2) which contains 531,916 SNPs and allele frequency data based on an analysis of 2,155 P. falciparum samples collected in 35 locations in 19 countries.

These data can be downloaded from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute public ftp site.
