Supplementary material of the project "Tracking the intensity of the mechanism to produce antigenic diversity by subtelomeric ectopic recombination across the phylogeny of Plasmodium parasites"

<strong>Supplementary material datasets: </strong> <strong>Dataset 1:</strong> Database for phylogenetic reconstruction of the genus <em>Plasmodium.</em> <strong>Dataset 2:</strong> Trees of the genus <em>Plasmodium</em> generated with six phylogenetic tools (Majority-rule consensus tree of the 6 trees obtained). <strong>Dataset 3:</strong> Database for chromosome mapping of gene conservation. <strong>Dataset 4:</strong> List of predominant gene families in young regions per species. <strong>Dataset 5: </strong>Classification of gene families (with the highest number of sequences in young regions) based on the nature of its products. <strong>Dataset 6: </strong>Chromosome maps showing the gene conservation profile, presence of young regions, and distribution of antigenic genes in 19 <em>Plasmodium</em> species. <strong>Supplementary material:</strong> <strong>Table S1: </strong>Criteria to define the four levels in which <em>Plasmodium</em> species are classified based on evidence of the intensity of production of antigenic diversity through ectopic recombination. <strong>Table S2:</strong> Number of species present in each major clade and in their respective minor clades. <strong>Figure S1:</strong> Proportion of species-specific or young genes excluded from chromosome mapping analysis.
