Selection shapes malaria genomes and drives divergence between pathogens infecting hominids versus rodents

BACKGROUND: Malaria kills more people worldwide than all inherited human genetic disorders combined. To characterize how the parasites causing this disease adapt to different host environments, we compared the evolutionary genomics of two distinct groups of malaria pathogens in order to identify cri...
