Additional file 3 of Conserved associations between G-quadruplex-forming DNA motifs and virulence gene families in malaria parasites

Additional file 3 Table S3. Co-distribution of PQSs with variantly-expressed multigene families in Laverania, rodent, and avian malaria parasites. For each genome, the mean distance between var or pir genes and their nearest PQS was compared to the mean distance in a simulated genome where var or pir genes occurred at random. Differences between the actual and simulated datasets were assessed by Welch’s t-test, two-tailed.
