Correlation of transcriptional expression measured by microarray versus qPCR. 17% (36 genes) of the 212 novel parasite biomarkers of transmission stage malaria identified by microarray was subjected to validation by qPCR using primers specific for the gene of interest and RNA template isolated from infected mosquitoes. Each dot represents an individual gene in the microarray dataset. Correlation between fold change by microarray (x axis) versus copy number ± standard error by qPCR (y axis) increases as the parasite developmentally progresses through the mosquito. Correlation was calculated using the Spearman’s ρ nonparametric test. Error bars indicate standard deviation for qPCR.
