From: STATAWAARS: a promoter motif associated with spatial expression in the major effector-producing tissues of the plant-parasitic nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Fig. 3

The STATAWAARS motif in B. xylophilus and two sedentary plant-parasitic nematodes, Meloidogyne hapla and Globodera rostochiensis. The motif is present in the genomes of all three species. The Frequency of motif occurrence in B. xylophilus (Green) appears to differ from an analysis of 1000 shuffled promoter sequences (Grey). The Frequency of motif occurrence in M. hapla (yellow) differs somewhat from an analysis of 1000 shuffled promoter sequences (Grey). The Frequency of motif occurrence in G. rostochiensis (Blue) is largely similar to an analysis of 1000 shuffled promoter sequences (Grey). The grey lines represent 250 shuffles and the black line represents the average of the shuffles (error bars indicate standard deviation (if the average is greater than 1)). Although the motif is present in the promoter regions of G. rostochiensis (blue line) and M. hapla (yellow line) multiple copies of the motif are not associated with the presence of a signal peptide (SP). For B. xylophilus (Green), the more motifs present in the promoter region, the more likely the corresponding gene encodes a signal peptide
