Expression profile of the annotated protein-coding genes in the V. dahliae genome. a The strategies used to generate the two sets of transcriptome data in this study. b Distribution of the mapped reads in different regions of the expressed genes. c RNA-seq reads coverage of all expressed genes. Base coverage of each mRNA by the mapped cDNA reads was first calculate, and the number of genes was then plotted against the coverage from 0 (no coverage) to 1 (100% coverage). d The expression level of all expressed genes represented by RPKM. RPKM stands for mapped Reads Per Kilo base of mRNA per Million reads. e Distribution of the mapped reads across the first 1000 kb of the supercontig 1 of the V. dahliae genome
