This page provides information about the Pv4 dataset, which contains genome variation data on 1,895 worldwide samples of Plasmodium vivax. The key publication is MalariaGEN et al, Wellcome Open Research 2022, 7:136 https://doi.org/10.12688/wellcomeopenres.17795.1.

Full details of the methods can be found in the accompanying paper. The major changes from the v1 (May 2016 data release) pipeline are that we now a) map to the PvP01 reference genome rather than PvSal1 and b) use a pipeline based on current GATK best practices which is analogous to the Pf6 pipeline.

This release contains details on contributing partner studies, sample metadata and key sample attributes inferred from genomic data, and genomic data including raw sequence reads. Further details and analytical results can be found in the accompanying data release paper.

These data are available open access. Publications using these data should acknowledge and cite the source of the data using the following format: "This publication uses data from the MalariaGEN Plasmodium vivax Genome Variation Project as described in ‘An open dataset of Plasmodium vivax genome variation in 1,895 worldwide samples’.
