Tools & Resources
Since its inception, MalariaGEN’s scientific network has developed and shared a range of genomic surveillance resources.

Whether you are new to MalariaGEN or an existing partner, you can access our public data resources, as well as protocols, training, and information about malaria genomics and surveillance.

Thanks to the collaborative spirit of our partners, MalariaGEN provides the world’s largest data sets on genomic variation associated with resistance in malaria parasites, mosquito vectors, and humans.

In order to facilitate the use of these data sets, we create guides, toolkits, visualisations, training, and other resources. Explore them by clicking the boxes below.

We are continually developing these resources to enable researchers globally to investigate the origins and causes of drug and insecticide resistance. If you have feedback, please contact support@malariagen.net

Apply for a partner study Genomic surveillance of malaria parasites and mosquitoes provides timely, accessible data on potential drug and insecticide resistance.
Partner study FAQs Prior to shipping samples, partners should follow the checklists detailed on the parasite and mosquito-specific resources pages.
Amplicon sequencing toolkit Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a powerful tool for finding the genetic basis of insecticide and drug resistance. But it can be excessive, especially when the locations of relevant mutations are known.
Use cases for Malaria Control Programs Technological advances have made it possible to track the evolution of malaria in near real-time, but integrating genomic information into public health decision-making can be a challenge.
Training Programs In order to create real-world public health impact from the huge volumes of data generated by sequencing, we offer training programs that build skills in bioinformatics, genetics, and infectious disease.
Data exploration and analysis tools MalariaGEN brings together and integrates genomic data from different labs and field studies, which increases the scale and value of the data resources. This reference data resource offers the potential for global surveillance of species that transmit malaria.
Ethics for human genomics From the start, we've worked with the Ethox Centre(link is external) at the University of Oxford to develop ethical frameworks for pursuing large-scale genomics research, particularly in the context of collaborations between researchers working in high- and low- or middle-income settings.
