Figure 1

Genomic context of PkH_051981 and originally defined 205 SICAvar gene fragments on chromosome 5 in the Pk4 assembly. The schematic represents P. knowlesi chromosome 5 from bp position 840,000 to the end, from Pk4 chromosome maps available from GeneDB. PkH_051981 is centrally located, 340 kb upstream from the other 205 SICAvar gene fragments positioned at the end of chromosome 5. The telomeric fragments are not found in the correct order, as originally described [3], and they are positioned in this assembly on different DNA strands and orientations. Exons 3–5 are not indicated here, as they are on the unmapped contig PkH_000630. Exons 6–7, 8–9, and 10–12 are on contigs PkH_052810, PkH_052840 and PkH_052830 respectively.
