NIH-funded research project at University of Notre Dame to fine map QTLs and perform functional analysis using advanced gene editing and sequencing techniques to study malaria resistance.
Description
This is a research project funded by NIH, focusing on molecular and bioinformatic analyses of QTLs in Plasmodium falciparum, utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, long-read sequencing, and bioinformatics tools. The project involves collaboration with multiple research groups and aims to identify causative genes and mutations related to malaria resistance and traits.
