Conservation of gene expression machineries in Ch. tentans . Boxplot of the percentual protein identity between potential orthologous sequences in Ch. tentans and D. melanogaster for 16 gene expression machineries. The proteins in each machinery were identified in D. melanogaster and aligned to the Ch. tentans genome and transcriptome assemblies, excluding alignments covering less than 25% of the D. melanogaster protein length. The aligned and total number of proteins is shown for each machinery. Filled black rectangles represent outlier values in the distributions.
