Plasmodium falciparum Raw sequence reads

From our publication draft: Emergence of artemisinin partial resistance (ART-R) in Plasmodium falciparum is a growing threat to the efficacy of artemisinin combination therapies (ACT) and the efforts for malaria elimination. The emergence of Plasmodium falciparum Kelch13 (K13) R561H in Rwanda raised concern about the impact in neighboring Tanzania. In addition, regional concern over resistance affecting sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP), which is used for chemoprevention strategies, is high. The goal was to assess the status of antimalarial resistance in Tanzania, with a focus on the border with Rwanda, to understand the distribution of the 561H mutation, partner drug resistance, and resistance to chemoprevention drugs. To enhance longitudinal monitoring, the Molecular Surveillance of Malaria in Tanzania (MSMT) project was launched in 2020 with the goal of assessing and mapping antimalarial resistance. Community and clinic samples were assessed for resistance polymorphisms using molecular inversion probes (MIPs)
