Table 1 Comparison of the PvPAM, PvP01 (PlasmoDB, v51) and PvW1 (PlasmoDB, v60) assemblies. The assembly size includes unassigned contigs. The subtelomeric region size of chromosomes is based on the subtelomeric boundaries defined in the Methods section. Functional genes are all genes that are not annotated as pseudogenes. PvW1 pseudogenes are not annotated and therefore unknown. Mb = megabases, kb = kilobases
