From: Transcription of the var genes from a freshly-obtained field isolate of Plasmodium falciparum shows more variable switching patterns than long laboratory-adapted isolates

Figure 2

Schematic diagram of the repertoire of var genes of the wild Plasmodium isolate, FCYN0906-5H. The gene names, Ups sequence type and domain architecture are listed. Where known, the var genes have been grouped according to 5′ flanking sequence (Ups type). The extracellular domains of PfEMP1 have been classified by sequence criteria. * var4 and var84 had no upstream sequences but had DBLα sequences of group A. # indicates var genes that had no upstream sequences but belong to either group B or group C according to the DBLα amino acid sequences.
