Excited to see this important work out where use genomic & analytical tools to explore this, always a pleasure to work with my good friend @jjrosados.bsky.social ✨ [contains quote post or other embedded content]11 Jun 2025 11:01 +0000at://did:plc:act63huiuhsbom54otrtn3va/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrdayc7s6k2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/drshaziaruybal.bsky.social/post/3lqctypwplc24Current efforts in malaria modelling and pop gen are largely separate endeavors due to complexities of the parasites’ genetics. Here we review advances to understand strain hyperdiversity with potential to link these processes.
