Fig. 1From: Global sequence diversity of the lactate dehydrogenase gene in Plasmodium falciparumSliding window plots of Tajima’s D values, Fu and Li’s D* values and Fu and Li’s F* value of Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase. The plots of Tajima’s D values (a), Fu and Li’s D* values (b) and Fu and Li’s F* values (c) were analysed using default parameters, with a window length of 100 bp and step size of 25 bp. Significantly negative D* and F* statistics were detected at nucleotide positions 333–558 (corresponding to amino acid residues 111–186), suggesting a signature of negative (purifying) selection.
