Successive deletions between homologous repeats in the region H. Genetic map of TT01/I region H is shown (blue boxes are open reading frames [ORFs]). Location of repetition units (RPT) larger than 1 kilobase (kb) is indicated (hatched colored boxes). RPT were systematically searched on the whole TT01/I genome sequence by using Nosferatu, software that can detect approximate repeat sequences [46]. The RPTs are numbered according their position on the chromosome. DNA microarray data for the TT01α/I and VAR* genomes are indicated. '+': the gene is present. '-': the gene is absent. '?': the gene is not represented on the microarray. Schematic representation of TT01α/I and the VAR* variant deletions is shown. Deletion borders were obtained from sequencing between the R-3236 and F-3254 primers in the VAR* variant, and between the R-3238bis and F-3249 primers in the TT01α/I variant. Green and hatched gray boxes represent regions in TT01α/I and VAR* genomes variants that were found to be present or absent, respectively. The deleted regions encompassed sequence between coordinates 3.833.904 and 3,846,724 in TT01α/I genome and coordinates 3,830,001 and 3,855,141 in VAR* genome.
