Figure 1. VAR2CSA in placental parasites shows unprecendented diversity with no interindividual clustering.

Maxiumum Liklihood Tree of 79 Unique DBL3X Sequences. Sequences were aligned by translation. Consensus tree shown, with 50% cutoff. Taxa colored by placental sample. Sequences from the same patient sample tend to group together in one to three clades with the exception of 0786-A09, denoted by an asterisk.
