Genes highly expressed in male and female P. vivax gametocytes.

The table shows the 25 genes most highly expressed in male and female gametocytes and provides for each genes the median and range (10%–90%) expression in female, male, and asexual parasites (in number of mRNA molecules per 1,000). The figures for P. berghei are also provided, as well as whether the expression of the gene was detected in Yeoh and colleagues, 2017 (M in male, F in female gametocytes) and in Obaldia and colleagues, 2018 (GR, gametocyte ring; MG, mature gametocytes). Genes highlighted in green are specifically expressed in gametocytes. (XLSX)
