a Expression patterns genes from the Toll-like receptor, C-type lectin and Scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain-containing protein pattern recognition receptor families (rows) across four L. orbiculatus organs (columns); G – gills, M – mantle, F – foot, V – visceral mass. Both differentially and non-differentially expressed unigenes were included for an overview of the expression profile of each family across the different organs. Yellow indicates high levels of expression while blue low indicates low levels of expression. The heatmap was plotted from VSD transformed counts and scaled by row. b Domain architectures of eight TIR domain-containing unigenes significantly more highly expressed specifically in the symbiont-housing gills. The numbers above indicate length in base pairs. Domains are depicted by coloured boxes; Bright yellow – G3DSA:3.80.10.10 (GENE3D leucine-rich repeat), darker yellow – TIR domain, blue – PFAM leucine rich repeats, pink – death, red – signal peptide, green – transmembrane domain
