Fig. 4From: Genetic relatedness analysis reveals the cotransmission of genetically related Plasmodium falciparum parasites in Thiès, SenegalIBD block distributions within polygenomic infections. Distribution of IBD block sizes in megabase pairs (Mbp). IBD blocks were defined as contiguous segments of the genome that are IBD and are longer in highly related polygenomic infections (p value = 2.70 × 10−8, Mann–Whitney U). a Distribution of IBD block size in less related polygenomic infections (relatedness <0.30). Average block size is 0.31 Mbp with a standard deviation of 0.21 Mbp. b Distribution of IBD block sizes in highly related polygenomic infections (relatedness >0.30). Average block size is 1.04 Mbp with a standard deviation of 0.73 MbpBack to article page
