Comparison of recombination events between global PfAMA-1

	Ra	Rb	Rm
Myanmar	0.0141	26.3	24
Ghana	0.0921	172	27
PNG	0.0500	83.4	28
Philippines	0.0218	40.8	17
Solomon Islands	0.0120	22.5	14
Tanzania	0.0915	171	28
Thailand	0.0243	45.3	20
Vanuatu	0.0010	1.8	9

The R and Rm were estimated excluding the sites containing alignment gaps or those segregating for three nucleotides. The R was computed using R = 4Nr, where N is the population size and r is the recombination rate per sequence (per gene) n, number of isolates; Ra, recombination parameter between adjacent sites; Rb, recombination parameter for entire gene; Rm, minimum number of recombination events between adjacent sites
