PMO Examples

Minimum PMO example

S_aureus

Contains the PMO for the S. aureus dataset - Furstenau2025_PMO.json.gz. This PMO was contructed from SRA-sourced data(Furstenau et al. 2025)

minimum_Furstenau2025_PMO.json.gz

Example data from PMO manuscript

ANOSPP

Anopheles and Plasmodium data obtained from 4128 mosquito samples from Gabon that were sequenced as part of the ANOSPP (ANOpheles SPecies identification and Plasmodium detection) project(Makunin et al. 2021)

anospp_pmo.json.gz

GENE8

Public genomic surveillance data of Plasmodium falciparum from four countries: Eswatini, Namibia, South Africa, and Zambia. This folder contains input files, intermediate PMOs, and processing notebooks [Aranda-Díaz et al. (2025)](Eloff et al. 2025)[Nhlengethwa et al. (2025)](Raman et al. 2025)

dataset1_pmo_qc_pass.json.gz

mips_v_mad4hatter

Contains the PMO containing specimens that were sequenced using both the MAD4HatTeR amplicon sequencing and the DR23K molecular inversion probe (MIP) assay (Katairo et al. 2025)

PRJNA1252738_PMO.json.gz

E_coli

Contains the PMO for the E. coli dataset - e_coli_coliseq_PMO.json.gz. This PMO was contructed from SRA-sourced data(Williamson et al. 2024)

e_coli_coliseq_PMO.json.gz

S_aureus

Contains the PMO for the S. aureus dataset - Furstenau2025_PMO.json.gz. This PMO was contructed from SRA-sourced data(Furstenau et al. 2025)

Furstenau2025_PMO.json.gz

Additional Example data format

Example created from a study from Mozambique(Tessema et al. 2022)

moz2018_PMO.json.gz

From Pf7+ data for the same panel above

Global data microhaplotypes were constructed by PathWeaver for the same targeted amplicon panel above. This includes approximately 1900 samples.
