  2. 2Number of S. ratti contigs with or without a significant BLAST alignment to the S. stercoralis contigs in the respective categories.
  3. 3The direction of the difference in expression (i.e. L1- or iL3-up) and, shown in parentheses, the mean ratio of expression.
  4. 4The significance of the difference of the mean levels of expression for the ESTs with and without significant BLAST alignments.
