Shared and strain-specific orthogroup counts identified from Plasmodium y. yoelii YM, P. y. yoelii 17X, and P. y. nigeriensis N67 parasites using OrthoFinder [33]. a Venn diagram of shared and strain-specific orthogroups; b log₁₀-transformed bit-score distributions for N67 proteins that are not assigned to any orthogroup plus those in N67-specific orthogroups (N67-specific) and proteins assigned to orthogroups having at least one 17X or YM protein (N67-other). The bit-scores are derived from pairwise BLAST alignments within the Orthofinder framework, where all queries were N67 protein sequences that were aligned against the 17X and YM sequences. The red dots indicate the mean values of bit-score distributions, whereas the vertical lines within the violins indicate the median, upper and lower quartile values
