Evidence for recombination events in var and rif genes. The sequences of var genes (A-C) and a rif gene (D) from the E5 clone are shown. The red letters show stretches that are 100% identical to sequences found within the 3D7 genome recombined with sequences unique to the E5 genotype (black letters). In A, 105 bp of PFI1830c is inserted within the E5 specific sequence E5dbl10. The partial amino acid sequence of the translated PFEMP1s are shown in B. In C, a stretch of sequence identical to PF10_0406 is shown inserted into the E5 specific sequence E5DBL35. In D, an E5 specific rif gene (E5rif3) is shown that contains 341 bp of sequence identical to the rif gene PFB0055c from 3D7 (red letters).
