New var reconstruction algorithm exposes high var sequence diversity in a single geographic location in Mali

BACKGROUND: Encoded by the var gene family, highly variable Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein-1 (PfEMP1) proteins mediate tissue-specific cytoadherence of infected erythrocytes, resulting in immune evasion and severe malaria disease. Sequencing and assembling the 40–60 var gene comp...
