Every month, we will be highlighting new datasets added to the UMB Data Catalog. The UMB Data Catalog facilitates discovery of data by providing a searchable and browsable collection of records describing datasets generated by UMB researchers. Sharing a record of your data in the Catalog is also a great way to demonstrate compliance with data sharing policies!
The latest records showcase datasets from the fields of neuroscience and physiology, molecular biology and malaria studies, and library science and education.
Congrats to our UMB researchers on these publications!
Title: Genotyping Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes using amplicon deep sequencing
Description: A genotyping method that detects distinct gametocyte clones and estimates their relative frequencies was developed to understand the dynamics of gametocyte production in polyclonal Plasmodium falciparum infections using a specific marker and amplicon deep sequencing to genotype mature gametocytes.
Authors: Jimmy Vareta, Natalie A. Horstman, Matthew Adams, Karl B. Seydel, Robert S. McCann, Lauren M. Cohee, Miriam K. Laufer, Shannon Takala‑Harrison
