Relative proportion of the different transcript categories in Mesobuthus gibbosus and comparative transcriptome analysis with other species from the Buthidae family using Sanger sequencing. Relative proportion is shown according the original source information and integrating the sum of categories into the 3 groups: venom functions (toxins, antimicrobial, cytolytic peptides and other venom components, dark blue bars); CellPro, cellular processes proteins or peptides (green bars) and other transcripts (unknown, NoMatch and NoORF, gray bars). Mesobuthus gibbosus [this work], Buthus occitanus Israelis[31], Tityus stigmurus[41], T. discrepan[38], T. serrulatus[42], Lychas mucronatus[39], Hottentotta judaicus[40], Centruroides tecomanus[44] and Isometrus maculatus [43].
