Classification of Theileria gene pairs^a	Theileria consecutive gene pairs with orthologs in P. falciparum ^c	Pairs in Theileria with conserved synteny in Plasmodium ^b	Percent conserved pairs^d
Opposite strand	940	64	22.66
Opposite strand Overlap	182	64	35.16
Same-strand	805	125	15.53

^aClassification of groups of Theileria consecutive gene pairs. Opposite strands: pairs of genes in head-to-head or tail-to-tail orientation, according to the 2014 T. parva Muguga annotation. Antisense: gene pairs for which a sesne-antisense relationship was observed in RNAseq data. Same strand: pairs of consecutive genes that are encoded on the same strand (head-to-tail orientation). ^bPairs of consecutive orthologous genes that preserved their gene order and orientation in T. parva Muguga and P. falciparum 3D7. ^cPairs of genes that are consecutive on the T. parva Muguga genome and have orthologs in the P. falciparum 3D7 genome. ^d Percentage of linked pairs
