Fig 1. Schematic of the structure of (A) pfhrp2 (B) pfhrp3 and their respective neighboring genes.

Pfhrp2 is located subtelomerically on chromosome 8 while pfhrp3 is located within the non-telomeric region of chromosome 13. The old IDs for each gene (MalxP1.xxx), where available, are indicated below the current PlasmoDB designations. Blue arrows indicate the 5’ to 3’ orientation of each gene. Gene location and information was obtained from PlasmoDB v.9.1 (http://plasmodb.org/plasmo/).
