Alignment of Plasmodium falciparum 18S sexual- and asexual-type rRNAs and assay reagents. CLUSTAL-W alignments of the assay reagents to the four 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes of P. falciparum 3D7. Asterisks denote homology between assay reagents and all S- and A-type genes. The assay reagents are completely matched to the A-type 18S rRNAs (MAL5_18S and MAL7_18Sa). PF1473F18 and PL1679R18 (Rev. Comp.) refer to the forward primer and the reverse complement of the reverse primer; PFALF and PFALR refer to the donor and acceptor probes, respectively.
