Figure 1

Diversity among T. gondii genes varies by category of coding function.

A) Sequence diversity of genes and intronic sequences between representatives of type I (GT1), type II (ME49) and type III (VEG) strains of T. gondii. Loci listed at the bottom in rank order, annotations in Table S1. B) Ratio of pNS/pS as an indication of positive selection. Pairwise comparisons of sequences between strains as indicated. C) Neighbor joining trees reconstructed from variation in the five most divergent genes. Scale = substitutions per site.
