Figure 4. P. falciparum 3D7 annotation changes between October 2002 and March 2019.
The number of genes between October 2002 and March 2019 are compared. The total number of genes includes pseudogenes. The number of genes with unknown function is shown (blue), genes with experimental evidence (red), genes with putative function (yellow) and the complete number of genes (light blue). Genes with unknown function have the following product description: conserved Plasmodium protein, unknown function; conserved protein, unknown function; conserved Plasmodium membrane protein, unknown function; Plasmodium exported protein, unknown function; probable protein, unknown function; hypothetical protein.
