Figure 5From: Whole-genome analysis of mRNA decay in Plasmodium falciparumreveals a global lengthening of mRNA half-life during the intra-erythrocytic development cycleComparison of decay rate calculated by microarray and by Northern blot. The half-lives for (a) PFB0760w and (b) PF13_0116 were verified by Northern blot analysis (quantified by PhosphorImager) for the ring and late schizont stages using total RNA from the same experiment. All of the microarray replicates were used to calculate the decay rate from the microarrays.Back to article page
