Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="humu22330-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>This paper reviews the content of open access biomedical databases including data on malaria‐related red cell disorders launched over the last two decades, most of which focus on genetic diversity, and describes a new epidemiological resource developed by the Malaria Atlas Project. This resource currently includes data on hemoglobin S, hemoglobin C, the Duffy blood group, and G6PD deficiency and paves the way to similar work on the thalassemias. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg224gz422" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
