Spatial patterns in genetic diversity are shaped by individuals dispersing from their parents and larger-scale population movements. It has long been appreciated that these patterns of movement shape ...

A new gene-editing tool enables precise study of the variable proteins that allow malaria parasites to stick to red blood cells and evade the immune system.
