<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> Classification of gene families (with the highest number of sequences in young regions) based on the nature of its products. <strong>Supplementary material 1:</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. <strong>Supplementary material 2: </strong> Chromosome maps showing the gene conservation profile, presence of young regions, and distribution of antigenic genes in 19 <em>Plasmodium</em> species. <em>P. adleri</em> (Page 1) <em>P. berghei </em>(Page 2) <em>P. billcollinsi</em> (Page 3) <em>P. blacklocki</em> (Page 4) <em>P. chabaudi</em> chabaudi (Page 5) <em>P. coatneyi </em>(Page 6) <em>P. cynomolgi </em>(Page 7) <em>P. falciparum</em> (Page 8) <em>P. gaboni </em>(Page 9) <em>P. knowlesi</em> (Page 10) <em>P. malariae</em> (Page 11) <em>P. ovale curtisi </em>(Page 12) <em>P. praefalciparum</em> (Page 13) <em>P. reichenowi</em> (Page 14) <em>P. relictum</em> (Page 15) <em>P. vivax-like</em> (Page 16) <em>P. vivax</em> (Page 17) <em>P. vinckei vinckei</em> (Page 18) <em>P. yoelii yoelii </em>(Page 19)
