Additional file 12 of Conserved associations between G-quadruplex-forming DNA motifs and virulence gene families in malaria parasites

Additional file 12 Table S7. Putative G-quadruplex-forming sequences in the genomes of Plasmodium parasites, found by QGRS Mapper. Genomes were downloaded from PlasmoDB, v. 44, and searched using QGRS Mapper with the parameters: regex: G3N(0 − 11)G3N(0 − 11)G3N(0 − 11)G3, max length: 45, min G-group: 3, loop size: 0–11. “RC_Location Calculated” refers to the location of PQSs on the antisense strand, relative to the 5′ end of the sense strand. The “Strand (cf gene or nearest gene)” category was denoted as antisense if the PQS was on the opposite strand of its nearest gene, or sense if the PQS was on the same strand as its nearest gene. The “distance from nearest gene” was positive if the PQS was upstream of the nearest gene, negative if the PQS was downstream of the nearest gene, or equal to 0 if the PQS was in the coding sequence of the nearest gene.
