Among the top 50 genes identified in our RNA-Seq experiment (Figure 2C), 5 of them (IFNG, CXCL8, IL3RA, SNX10, MYOF, and RSAD2) had promoter regions that were significantly more accessible in convalescent child patients with malaria than in adult convalescent patients (Figure 8E). Here, IL3RA is linked to malaria.
