Pf-HaploAtlas

Malaria remains a major global health challenge, and tracking the genetic mutations of Plasmodium falciparum is crucial for controlling the disease. The Plasmodium falciparum Haplotype Atlas (or Pf-HaploAtlas) app is a new tool that enables researchers and public health officials to study patterns of mutations across time and space in unprecedented detail. 

The Pf-HaploAtlas allows anyone with an internet connection to study and track genetic mutations across any gene in the P. falciparum genome! The app provides visualisations of haplotypes for all 5,102 core genes by using data from 16,203 samples, from 33 countries, and spread between the years 1984 and 2018, facilitating comprehensive spatial and temporal analyses of genes and variants of interest.
