Sliding window plot of A) π and B) d _N / d _S for domain I of Plasmodium lucens ama - 1 . Nucleotide positions are relative to the P. falciparum 3D7 line sequence. The window length is 30 bp with a step size of 9 bp for the sliding window analysis of π. The window length is 90 bp with a step size of 3 bp for the sliding window analysis of d_N/d_S. Asterisks indicate regions with a significant excess of non-synonymous substitutions.
