A. Schematic of the 3D7 genome structure showing the chromosomal locations of var genes that are missing or intact in the E5 genome. The 14 chromosomes of P. falciparum are represented by numbered black lines, while the blue lines represent clusters of var, rif, and stevor genes. Red circles denote clusters of genes that could not be detected by PCR using gene specific PCR primers designed to amplify sequences specific to 3D7. B. Expanded view showing the arrangement of var, rif and stevor genes from the chromosomal clusters circled in red in A.
