Inferring Strain Mixture within Clinical Plasmodium falciparum Isolates from Genomic Sequence Data

We present a rigorous statistical model that infers the structure of P. falciparum mixtures—including the number of strains present, their proportion within the samples, and the amount of unexplained mixture—using whole genome sequence (WGS) data. Applied to simulation data, artificial laboratory mi...
