Expression profile of immunity genes in teneral G. morsitans and G. brevipalpis. Heatmap with row-normalized expression levels are shown where each row represents a gene and each cell represents the relative expression level for a sample of midguts or bacteriomes in terms of Z-scores [observed transcripts per million (TPM) minus row mean TPM, divided by the standard deviation of TPMs for that row]. Values higher than the row mean are represented in green, and values lower than the row mean are represented in red. VectorBase gene ID for the two tsetse species is provided at the right of each row, including the gene symbol for the ortholog in D. melanogaster according to FlyBase. A black square next to the gene indicates a significant differential expression (adjusted p < 0.05) according to the comparison on the column headers located at the: DE = differentially expressed; G. BR. = G. brevipalpis; G. MO. = G. morsitans; BAC = bacteriome; GUT = midgut. The p-values for the corresponding comparisons are included in Supplementary Additional file 8: Table S7 and Additional file 9: Table S8. Blocks at the right group genes by immunity class, the unknown category indicates genes that were differentially expressed in D. melanogaster upon challenge with pathogenic bacteria, but are not genes associated with the other classes, immunity classes are provided only as a guidance, as cross-talk between pathways exists; blocks at the bottom indicate tsetse tissue and species of origin
