The expression profile of the gene Tb927.2.1820 from Trypanosoma brucei. a Life style of Trypanosoma brucei is divided into three stages (procyclic form, PF, differentiation procyclic form, DIF, and metacyclic form) in the vector tsetse fly’s midgut, and two stages (blood stream form (BSF) including long slender (could be induced with drug after 3 days) and short stumpy (could be induced after 6 days) in the mammalian blood of the host. b Ca2+ concentration was reported to be high in the BSF and low in the PF [42]. c Expression ratio of whole genome protein coding genes between PF and BSF, with Tb927.2.1820 marked. d Comparison of expressions in the BSF and the PF of the Trypanosoma brucei. The unit of the Y-axis is Reads Per Kilobase of transcript per Million mapped reads (RPKM)
