Ancient Plasmodium genomes shed light on the history of human malaria
Nuclear genotype data in eigenstrat format for modern and ancient P. falciparum and P. vivax strains reported and/or analzyed in the following publication: Ancient Plasmodium genomes shed light on the history of human malaria.
1. The P. vivax dataset includes 23 newly-reported ancient strains and 906 comparative modern strains genotyped at 419,387 high-quality biallelic segregating SNP positions. Data from the modern P. vivax strains analyzed here were obtained from the Pv4 data release of the MalariaGEN P. vivax Genome Variation project (ftp://ngs.sanger.ac.uk/production/malaria/Resource/30).
2. The P. falciparum dataset includes 9 newly-reported ancient strains and 1,227 comparative modern strains genotyped at 106,179 high-quality biallelic segregating SNP positions. Data from modern P. falciparum strains analyzed here were obtained from the Pf6 data release of the MalariaGEN P. falciparum Community Project (ftp://ngs.sanger.ac.uk/production/malaria/pfcommunityproject/Pf6/).
