  1. (A) Candidate genes that have a SNP/indel present in 1000 bp region upstream of predicted ATG start or downstream of predicted end codon, and leading to expression differences of ≥1.5 fold in Toxoplasma arrays. (B) Candidate genes that are consistently differentially expressed between RH-ERP and GT1 using the three Toxoplasma array datasets, but not necessarily containing SNPs/indels in the 5′ or 3′ UTR regions.
