  1. aSum of all haplotypes in all samples.
  2. bWith respect to the reference sequence of P. falciparum strain 3D7.
  3. cPairwise comparison using two-sided paired t-test with adjusted p-value by Holm: p-value = 0.008 for ama1-D2 vs msp2-CE, p-value = 0.036 for ama1-D3 vs msp2-CE, and p-value = 0.005 for cpmp vs msp2-CE.
