Direct long-read visualization reveals hidden variation in GCH1 gene copy number and precise expansion steps by Shiwei Liu, Julia Zulawinska, Emily R. Ebel, Aleksander Luniewski, Charles Danis, Mary Lewis Simpson, Jane Kim, Nnenna Ene, Thomas Werner Anthony Braukmann, Molly Congdon, Webster Santos, Ellen Yeh, Jennifer L. Guler

“…We directly quantified higher numbers of tandem GCH1 amplicons in selected parasite lines (up to 9 GCH1 amplicons) compared to parental P. falciparum parasites (strictly 3 GCH1 amplicons). Because each read represents DNA from an individual genome, we were able to appreciate hidden variation within a single parasite line (3, to 5, to 7 amplicons) that was not reflected in other DNA-based analysis methods. …”
