Data
In the initial phase of MalariaGEN our primary goal was to build a data-sharing network across different study sites in malaria-endemic countries, and to provide our partners with access to state-of-the-art genotyping and sequencing technologies. We have developed a range of web interfaces and user-friendly tools to enable MalariaGEN partners to download and analyse genotyping and sequencing data on the samples that they have collected.
The MalariaGEN community is now working to make these data accessible to the scientific community as a whole. We are also working to build capacity for data analysis in malaria-endemic countries, to ensure that researchers who contribute to MalariaGEN projects are not placed at a disadvantage when data from their samples are released into the public domain.
Below are links to MalariaGEN datasets that are currently available. We are working hard to release more datasets, so please check again in a few months.

Plasmodium falciparum genome variation
- All our sequence read data are open access
- Use Explorer Cat to search and query a catalog of 86,000 SNPs, and compare their allele frequencies between different regions of the world
