Fig. 1From: Evolution of transcriptional control of antigenic variation and virulence in human and ape malaria parasitesConservation of var intron structure in all seven Laverania species. A Schematic showing the division of var introns into three regions based on base content and strand asymmetry. B Calculation of base content of the positive strand of var introns for each species of the Laverania. Note the prominent G vs C asymmetry in regions 1 and 3 and the conservation of this asymmetry in all seven speciesBack to article page
