The extent of the P. vivax schizont transcriptome. (a) Size distribution of 5′ UTRs (n = 4155). (b) Size distribution of 3′ UTRs (n = 4091). (c) An overview of the extent of transcription from a representative portion of the P. vivax genome sequence (from chromosome 12). The coloured lines in the upper panel represent directional RNA-seq coverage from each of the four patient isolates, while the lower panel includes gene models on both strands of the genome sequence. (d) Overlapping transcripts are found even within a single life stage in P. vivax. The example shown is of a gene pair in a “tail-to-tail” orientation (PVP01_1416800 and PVP01_1416900). The boundaries of the mRNA sequence of the second gene in this pair is contained within the 3′ UTR sequence of the first gene in the pair.
