Schematic diagram showing cell pathways/functions to which the developmental proteins associated with strobilation were assigned. The set of 12 developmental proteins associated with cestode strobilation were mapped into different cell signaling pathways or assigned to different functional processes according to the KEGG database (https://www.genome.jp/kegg/). These proteins are indicated in different colors, whereas other functionally related cell proteins/structures/molecules are all shown in gray. The different signaling pathways are numbered as follows: 1 (red) for Wnt; 2 (orange) for TGF-β/BMP and 3 (purple) for G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathways. Other functional features are color-coded as follows: yellow for ‘cell cycle’; green for ‘membrane associated protein’; light blue for ‘RNA interactor’; and dark blue for ‘transcription factor’
