Figure 5. Diagram showing different types of patches created for the P. falciparum 3D7 population reference (PfRef1).
Type-1 are sequence differences between the current P. falciparum 3D7 assembly version 3.2 and a new Pf3D7 PacBio assembly. 500 bp are provided on each side as anchor (shown in blue). Type-2 are new genes, that are either anchored on both sides (type 2.1), or not anchored (type 2.2). Type-3 are dimorphic genes that are either anchored on both sides (type 3.1) or anchored on one side (type 3.2).
