Figure 2From: cDNA sequences reveal considerable gene prediction inaccuracy in the Plasmodium falciparum genomePCR products confirming alternatively spliced introns. Oligonucleotide primers flanking selected predicted introns that might be alternatively spliced were amplified from genomic DNA (G lanes), reverse-transcribed mRNA of mixed asexual stages (C lanes), and mRNA controls of mixed asexual stages (without reverse transcriptase, R lanes). Genes with alternatively spliced introns are as marked; M, 100 bp DNA ladder. Note that more than two bands were amplified from PFE1540w, PF13_0220, and PF13_0224.Back to article page
