  1. The mutations detected in the Pfcrt, Pfmdr1, and Pfk13 genes that were sequenced by Sanger and NGS methods are displayed. The total number of samples that carried the specific mutation is shown and percent is given in parentheses. NA, not applicable. Unlike NGS, Sanger could only sequence fragments and not full length of the genes
