Calculated values of average GC content corresponding to each library preparation. Deviation from the 19.4% (value of the unamplified genome) indicates the effect of amplification bias. See Figure 3 A & B for a global graphical presentation of the GC content distribution. 3D7, P. falciparum strain 3D7; PK0076, P. falciparum clinical isolate.
