From: Sequences conserved by selection across mouse and human malaria species
Upstream blocks conserved beyond neutral expectations among P. falciparum and the three mouse malaria species. These blocks were identified by searching the aligned regions upstream of orthologous genes and are strong candidates for having novel functions. These are (A) at 275 bp upstream of PF14_0091, a hypothetical gene, (B) at 81 bp upstream of PF14_0682, a hypothetical gene, (C) at 185 bp upstream of PF14_0212, a hypothetical gene, (D) at 275 bp upstream of PF14_0437, a helicase truncated putative gene, and (E) at 1 bp upstream of PFA0400c, a beta3 protesome putative gene. In total, we observe 81 P. falciparum 5' regions with a conservation p-value of 10-6or lower.
