Figure 4

Chromosomal distribution of var genes in the 3D7 and HB3 parasite isolates. Var genes are color shaded according to 5' gene flanking Ups type (U indicates unknown) and labeled according to protein architecture. The chromosomal locations were predicted for 36 of the 54 HB3 PfEMP1 proteins based upon gene flanking sequence and comparison to the 3D7 reference genome (see methods). Arrows without an outline indicate pseudogenes.
