Schematic display of the in vitro blood model and mapping results. a For the in vitro model 2 ml mycelium from an overnight culture were aliquoted and, except for the pre value, incubated in either blood or minimal medium (10 ml) for 30 and 180 min at 37 °C. The complete mycelium was harvested immediately after the procedure and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. RNA was isolated, cDNA libraries were generated and Illumina high Seq 2000 sequencing was performed. b Total number of reads in each sample (Total reads), number of reads aligned to the reference genome (Mapped reads), and number of mapped reads allocated to annotated genes (Reads to genes). These numbers are indicated by the top side of the corresponding bars
