Analysis of genotypes at 13 microsatellite loci chosen across the 179.5 kb signature of selection on chromosome 6 of P. falciparum. a Extent of pairwise linkage disequilibrium (r2) between adjacent loci as columns labelled on the x-axis with the arbitrary names of the loci pair. The physical distance (kb) separating the pair of loci for which the r2 was determined is shown on top of each column. b Weir and Cockeram’s Fst at each locus for pairs of temporal populations compared. Each column represents the extent of Fst between population pairs. c Snapshot of genomeview display in PlasmoDB for the region covered by the 13 loci (http://www.plasmoDB.org). The connecting lines from locus names in panel ‘b’ x-axis maps the physical positions (kb) of each locus on the genome ruler in panel ‘c’. The blue and red bars in panel ‘c’ represent coding sequences with the arrow head showing the direction of translation. The gene ID of each coding sequence is shown above each bar
