The sequences of the selected transcripts were identified using the gene data of P. falciparum 3D7 strain (PF3D7), which was retrieved from PlasmoDB as a genomic database of P. falciparum and GenDB of the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
The expression levels of the transcripts of P. falciparum treated with DHA (Pf-DHA), BNTX (Pf-BNTX), or RIMO (Pf-RIMO) were quantitatively calculated on the basis of control data obtained from P. falciparum grown in medium only (Pf-cont).
