Fig. 6From: A chelicerate-specific burst of nonclassical Dscam diversitysDscam genes are biased to be more highly expressed. a In M. martensii, sDscam genes are biased to be more highly expressed than mDscam genes. We calculated p values using a two-tailed Student’s t-test. As LDscams occurs much less frequently than mDscams and sDscams, we did not analyze the statistical differences between them. b sDscam genes are biased to be more highly expressed than mDscam genes in I. scapularis. c The expression bias is conserved in S. mimosarum (Smi, SRR1015314), P. tepidariorum (Pte, SRR1824487), M. occidentalis (Moc, SRR446504), and L. polyphemus (Lpo, SRX1323743)Back to article page
