Genome-wide study of resistance to severe malaria in eleven populations (version 2)

Released on 15 Aug 2019.

Human

This data release contains SNP genotype data and association test results from our analysis of severe malaria in eleven populations. Data for eleven populations (Gambia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Tanzania, Malawi, Kenya, Vietnam and Papua New Guinea) are available.

The datasets available include raw Illumina Omni 2.5M genotype data from each population analysed in the above manuscript. In addition, we provide a set of processed data for a subset of samples that passed our quality control process, including phased and imputed SNP genotypes and a set of association test summary statistics.

A set of genotypes at selected genetic variants generated using the Sequenom MassArray platform on a larger set of individuals is also available.
