This Week in Nature: Jun 25, 2009

Jun 25, 2009

In the early online edition of Nature this week, Duke's Jenny Tung led a study that combined sequencing, genotyping, and functional assays to take a peek at the evolution of a malaria resistance gene in wild primates. Screening about 200 yellow baboons from Amboseli National Park in Kenya, they tested for the presence of Hepatocystis kochi, a blood parasite related to Plasmodium.
