Summary of Intron Loss/Gain Pattern for 27 Observed Loss/Gain Events from a Previous Study (Roy and Penny 2006)
| Plasmodium gallinaceum | Plasmodium falciparum | Plasmodium yoelii | Events (Introns) |
| + | + | − | 15 (19) |
| + | − | + | 7 (7) |
| ? | − | + | 1 (1) |
| − | − | + | 0 (0) |
NOTE.—Cases of intron absence at multiple adjacent positions in P. yoelii are consistent with coincident loss of multiple introns and are treated as single events.
