Coding probability of Anopheles gambiae midgut transcripts and functional classification of An. gambiae midgut transcripts generated by a genome-based analysis. A) Intergenic transcripts (light pink color) and genic (blue) show a bimodal distribution that defines two major populations of transcripts with different coding probability. B) Number of potentially novel and previously annotated An. gambiae transcripts were functionally classified by BLAST to different databases. Abbreviated titles are “RNA Processing/Transc/Transl”: RNA Processing, Transcription, Translation; “Cytosk/Stor/Secr/ExMtrx”: Cytoskeletal, Secretion, Extracellular Matrix; “Transp/Channels”: Transporters and Channels; “Post trnsl mod/Prot mach”: Post-translational modification and proteasome machinery; “Nuc export & Reg” Nuclear Export and Regulation. “Protease/Protease inhib”: Protease and protease inhibitors; “Transp. Element”: Transposable Element.
