Comparing newly developed SNP barcode panels with microsatellites to explore population genetics of malaria parasites in the Peruvian Amazon
The SNP barcodes in the AmpliSeq assays offered comparable results to MS for investigating population genetics in <i>P. vivax</i> and <i>P. falciparum</i> populations, despite some discrepancies in determining polyclonality. Given both panels have their respective advantages and limitations, the choice between both should be guided by research objectives, costs, and resource availability.
