Chromosomal localisation of R45-FIKK kinase genes and of some associated multigene families in the P. falciparum 3D7 genome, as deduced from the maps published by Gardner et al [1] and the version 4.3 genome annotation from PlasmoDB. The genes transcribed leftwards (annotated "c" in the 3D7 genome) are placed above the chromosome. The genes transcribed rightwards (annotated "w" in the 3D7 genome) are placed beneath the chromosome. Total chromosome length as deduced from PlasmoDB (as per December 2004) is given in megabases on the right. Note that for chromosomes whose sequence is still incomplete, the actual chromosome size is slightly larger. The subtelomeric regions are not drawn to scale.
