Looking at insertions and deletions
The variants above are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) - or rather multiple nucleotide polymorphisms (MNPs) since several come together.
What about other types of variation?
Challenge
Scroll around a bit and see if you can find a deletion or insertion variant - what do these look like?
If stuck, try looking around the gene PF3D7_0220300
. What
read evidence supports this deletion?
Or look around the PfCSP gene again (PF3D7_0304600
) - can you see anything odd here?
Note. Insertions look like purple bars in IGV. Can you find any of these?
