Clustering strategy for the analysis of FcB1-schizont-ESTs. The first two clusterings performed using est2genome (BLAST score > 700) on the 3D7 genome (PlasmoDB versions 4.4 and 5.3) allowed clustering of 19,459 ESTs. By lowering the BLAST score to 500, 447 additional ESTs were clustered and mapped on the 3D7 genome (PlasmoDB vs 5.3). The remaining unmatched FcB1-schizont-ESTs were analysed by comparison with the UniProt database, revealing 270 additional ESTs matching MSP1 (K1 type) and Ebl-1, 160 ESTs matching the mitochondrial genome and 1 EST matching the apicoplast genome.
