Antisense transcription is strongly enriched at the 3′-end of CDSs. A) Averaged coverage of antisense and sense RNA levels for all annotated genes. B) Sense (green) and antisense (red) coverage for a representative gene (PF3D7_0515300). Green arrows indicate direction of transcription and yellow boxes represent CDSs. The grey triangles mark the site of a putative bi-directional promoter. C) Coverage plot for a representative gene (PF3D7_1009900) likely to be affected by run-through transcription from a neighboring gene (PF3D7_101000). Green arrows indicate direction of transcription and yellow boxes represent CDSs.
