Sequence alignment of five probes against the PCR products of B. pahangi and B. malayi. Primers designed to flank the probe sequence of five probes on the BmV2 chip that had three to ten times higher signal intensities in B. malayi microfilariae than in B. pahangi were used for PCRs with B. pahangi and B. malayi genomic DNA as templates and the PCR product was sequenced. The asterisks indicate identical nucleotides in the aligned sequences. For Bm1_34045, the consensus dinucleotides at either ends of the intron, GT at the 5' end and AG at the 3' end, are shown in bold for both the B. pahangi and B. malayi genes.
