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...
