Fig. 2: P. malariae-related contigs from chimpanzee sample PGABG03.
From: Zoonotic origin of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium malariae from African apes
a Identity to M1-like genome assembly PmlGA01 of de novo contigs assembled from PGABG03 sequencing reads mapped to P. malariae. To improve readability, one contig with a nucleotide identity of 70% has been omitted from the plot. Contigs between 83% and 92% nucleotide identity to PmlGA01 (dashed red lines) were assumed to originate from M2 and used for further assembly; contigs between 92% and 97% identity or below 83% identity were evaluated manually and included as M2 contigs if appropriate. b Boxplot of nucleotide divergences between M1 and M1-like, and between M1 and M2; n = 285 genes, totalling 350 kb of aligned sequence. A vertical centre line indicates the median; the box indicates the interquartile range; whiskers indicate 1.5x the interquartile range; black circles represent outliers.
