Detection of var genes that are specific to 3D7, E5, or are shared by both clones. PCR reactions designed to specifically amplify from genomic DNA a var gene shared in both clones (PFF1580c, also called MAL6P1.4); a var gene only found in 3D7 (PF08_140); and a var gene only found in E5 (E5dbl63a, see Supplemental data). It was possible to amplify products for all three genes using genomic DNA extracted from an early isolate of NF54, indicating that this isolate contains parasites with both genotypes.
