Figure 1From: Comparative genomics of parasitic silkworm microsporidia reveal an association between genome expansion and host adaptationVenn diagram showing the number of homologous genes and lineage-specific genes amongst three Nosema species, N. bombycis , N. antheraeae , and N. ceranae . The arabic numbers followed by characters represent the number of homologous genes in each Nosema species (‘a’ denotes N. antheraeae, ‘b’ denotes N. bombycis , and ‘c’ denotes N. ceranae). For instance, 2455b:1746a:1459c means that 2455 genes of N. bombycis, 1746 genes of N. antheraeae, and 1459 genes of N. ceranae are homologous to each other.Back to article page
