  1. The table shows sample counts for the non-reference allele for each SNP and non-reference allele frequency in brackets. Denominators are 39 VB samples from Accra, 70 venous blood samples from Navrongo, 87 DBS samples from Navrongo and 196 samples in total. For kelch13, all mutations were investigated and although several SNPs were identified, these were not known to be associated with artemisinin partial resistance (details in main text).
