Regulation dynamics of genes encoding ribosomal proteins. Circular PCA-generated gene expression functions for P. falciparum HB3 genes encoding ribosomal proteins (sensu Eukaryota) follow a very similar regulation dynamic (blue curves), whereas genes belonging to organellar ribosomes are not as strictly controlled (red and green curves). Similar analyses might reveal candidates in which transcription initiation could be due to the action of transcriptional activators and might help understand control of gene expression in P. falciparum in the future.
