Additional file 9 of Analysis of pir gene expression across the Plasmodium life cycle

Additional file 9: Fig. S2. Transcription of four gametocyte-specific marker genes across the life cycle stages of P. berghei in the different experiments. The genes included are p28 (PBANKA_0514900) and nek4 (PBANKA_0616700), markers for female gametocytes and ookinetes; mapk2 (PBANKA_0933700), marker for male gametocytes [66]; hap2 (PBANKA_1212600), gamete fusion protein [67]. Bar height corresponds to median TPM, with error bars showing the range of TPM values across replicates. Colours correspond to different experiments.
