Enhancing regional genomic surveillance of malaria for elimination planning

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Lab protocol for genomic surveillance will be shared with partners at a workshop at MRCG.
• The MRCG genomics platform will be resourced with personnel and consumables to generate pilot data
that will be shared with partners and the National Malaria Control Programs.
• The MRCG information centre and the data management are building a platform for data-sharing that
will be explored for local and regional data sharing. This platform will be cloud -based, and data updated
will be accessible to all partners
• The sequence data generated will be uploaded into open sequence data repositories such the
European Nucleotide archive and the Short Read archive to the National Centre for Biotechnological
information. These are universal open access. Links to the data generated and the platform will
accompany all reports that will also be f reely accessible online.
• Approaches will be reported to the Pathogen Genomic initiative of the Af rican Centre for Disease Control
for continental sharing.
