Figure 2.

Artemis Comparison Tool (ACT) screenshot showing a comparison between 2002 and 2019. Coloured boxes represent genes. The grey blocks between sequences represent sequence similarity (TBLASTX). ( A) A 2-exon gene has been changed into a 22-exon gene (PF3D7_1462500) ( B) Two genes that have been merged (PF3D7_0624900) ( C) A gene that has been split into two genes (PF3D7_0906800, PF3D7_0906700) ( D) Two genes shown in red have been added (PF3D7_1144100, mitochondrial large subunit ribosomal protein; PF3D7_1144300, 60S ribosomal protein L41) ( E) A hypothetical gene (PFI0905w) has been deleted and a ncRNA (PF3D7_0918500, telomerase RNA) has been added. In (E), the six reading frames are shown with tick marks indicating stop codons.
