Figure 2

The average pairwise nucleotide sequence diversity is shown for 3,111 orthologous core genes at fourfold degenerate sites for 12 geographically diverse strains of P. falciparum (black), two strains of P. reichenowi (red) and two strains of P. gaboni (blue). For P. falciparum field isolates, diversity information was obtained from SNP data (only data sets representing single-parasite strains were used for analysis; see the ‘Methods’ section for detail).
