Training course in data analysis for genomic surveillance of African malaria vectors (MalariaGEN/PAMCA)

This training course deals with data analysis for genomic surveillance of African malaria vectors, and was developed jointly by MalariaGEN and PAMCA.

The goal of this course is to introduce some practical techniques for the analysis of genomic data for surveillance of Anopheles mosquitoes. At the end of the course, trainees will be able to:

• Perform a range of analyses on Anopheles genomic data that are relevant to malaria vector surveillance
• Describe key biological concepts underpinning the analyses
• Describe key computing technologies used for the analyses
• Interpret analysis results and discuss implications for malaria vector control policy

In addition, the course features 3 advanced training modules on Anopheles funestus:

• Exploration of the Anopheles funestus resource
• Population structure in Anopheles funestus
• Signals of insecticide resistance in Anopheles funestus
