Additional File 2:

Mean log ratio of gene expression in presence/absence of artesunate at 90 minutes and 3 hours. List is made-up of genes displaying significant changes at 3 hour incubation time, across 5 experiments performed at time points staggered between 20–30 h of parasite development. Values shown express the mean log ratios calculated from all experiments; when for a given gene significant log ratios were obtained for several oligos, the retained log ratio was one with the maximum absolute value. In the 3 hour column, only values significant at 3 hours as defined by ANOVA are shown, with a mean log-ratio cut-off of +/- 0.8. Values in bold: log ratios of controls (0 hours vs 3 hours in absence of artesunate) have been substracted from the log ratios obtained after 3 hours in artesunate. Red cell-background: over-expression. Green cell-background: under-expression. Gene ID and description: from PlasmoDB.

Additional File 3:

Confirmation by real-time quantitative rt-PCR of differential gene expression induced by 3 hour incubation with artesunate. Transcripts abundances were compared by ΔΔCt values calculated using PFI0425w (putative transporter) as endogenous control. Values for microarray and qPCR are expression fold changes between parasites in presence and in absence of artesunate (Pearson correlation coefficient between the two techniques: 0.81).
