Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Journal Club webinar on the Pf8 data resource

The Wellcome Sanger Institute Journal Club on Malaria Genomic Epidemiology will showcase the Pf8 data resource, the latest MalariaGEN release of curated genome variation data on over 33,000 Plasmodium falciparum samples from 99 partner studies and 122 locations over more than 50 years

Date: 22nd of July 2025

Time:2.30PM CEST

Venue: online

To the best of Malaria GEN knowledge, Pf8 is the largest open data set of genome variation in any eukaryotic species, making it an invaluable foundational resource for understanding evolution, including that of pathogens. As well as describing the content of the release, we will walk through the suite of apps and tools which accompany Pf8, guiding users on how to get the most out of this freely available resource.
