Genome variation data on more than 7,000 malaria parasites from 28 endemic countries is released today (24 February) in
Wellcome Open Research. It has been produced by MalariaGEN, a data-sharing network of groups around the world who are working together to build high-quality data resources for malaria research and disease control.
This open data release represents the world s largest resource of genomic data on malaria parasite evolution and drug resistance. It provides benchmark data on parasite genome variation that is needed in the search for new drugs and vaccines, and in the development of surveillance tools for malaria control and elimination.
Malaria is a major global health problem causing an estimated 409,000 deaths in 2019, with 67 per cent of deaths occurring in children under five years of age . This data resource focuses on Plasmodium falciparum, the species of malaria parasite that is responsible for the most common and deadliest form of the disease.

From:
Thank you for that welcome, and for inviting me to join you all today.
Well – what a year it’s been.
Last Christmas, who could have imagined the huge difficulties that 2020 would bring, and the turmoil that we’d face as a sector, as a country and as mankind.
It has been a year where all of us have risen to massive, new challenges – and I have to say, the research and development sector, particularly in universities, has responded in an extraordinary way.
