Distribution of piggyBac insertion sites in the P. falciparum genome. (a) A representation of the 14 P. falciparum chromosomes with piggyBac insertion loci (represented by red vertical lines) shows extensive distribution of piggyBac insertions through out the parasite genome. (b) Comparison of chromosomal distribution of piggyBac insertions to the percent genome content of each chromosome shows unbiased insertions into P. falciparum genome. Plot and curve fits of percent piggyBac insertions and percent chromosome size are depicted in the inset.
