The document describes genome assembly, variant mapping, and validation pipelines called ComPar. The pipelines use BASH scripts to accurately predict variants like SNPs, indels, and highly divergent regions between Plasmodium genomes. The pipelines apply various filters to predicted variants, like quality score cutoffs, to reduce false positives. Graphs show the effects of filtering on predicted variant counts and positions. The pipelines also characterize identified highly divergent regions by gene identity percentages.
