CXCL8 and malaria: 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).
