Schematic of target genomic regions, encoding hrp2/3. A Schematic of the hrp2-containing chromosomal region plus flanking genes (unlabeled light-blue boxes represent pseudogenes), labelled with their respective gene products, and coding regions (exon1 and exon2), their base pair length and direction of transcription. Red highlighted areas denote locations of hrp2/3-specific qPCR forward primer (1) and reverse primer (2), and the purple highlighted area denotes the location of the qPCR probe (P). Chromosome 08 PfEMP1 reference – Pf3D7_0833500 (multi-copy gene). B Same as A, but for hrp3. Chromosome 13 PfEMP1 reference – Pf3D7_1373500 (multi-copy gene)
