Figure 2From: Asexual expansion of Toxoplasma gondii merozoites is distinct from tachyzoites and entails expression of non-overlapping gene families to attach, invade, and replicate within feline enterocytes Global comparative transcriptome analysis. A) Scatterplot depicting expression levels as mapped read (DESeq values) of 8323 identified genes in CZ tachyzoites (Tz) and merozoites (Mz). The threshold for stage-regulated expression was set at ≥8-fold difference. B) Pie charts show parsing of 453 tachyzoite and 312 merozoite stage-regulated genes into functional categories.Back to article page
