Table 2.

For each genomic sequence fragment (contig) containing VSGs, the number of each VSG type is listed. To compute a p-value indicating a significant co-localization of same-type VSGs, the average distance between VSGs encoding the same N-terminal type was compared to simulated repertoires in which the type labels were permuted. Two of the contigs examined have same-type VSGs occurring significantly close and are highlighted; the others did not show significant co-localization of same-type VSGs.
