Figure 4From: A highly conserved segmental duplication in the subtelomeres of Plasmodium falciparum chromosomes varies in copy numberCopy number polymorphisms of the n-gene in different P. falciparum strains and isolates. (A) Copy numbers of the n-gene in different parasite lines relative to 3D7 detected by qPCR. (B) Visualization of copy numbers and localization of n-gene (green) in 3D7, FCR3 and 7G8. Distribution of fluorescent signals at the rim of the parasite nuclei (blue) confirms the position of the SD at the chromosomal ends.Back to article page
