Figure 4

Pairwise inter-species distances (substitutions per site) were calculated for all genes (dots) for which orthologs were identified in all three Laverania species (n=4,500), and the P. reichenowi–P. gaboni (x-axis) and P. falciparum–P. gaboni (y-axis) distances were plotted. Four genes that exhibit an unusually high P. reichenowi–P. gaboni and an unusually low P. falciparum–P. gaboni distance are highlighted in red.
