Differential transcriptome profile of <i>S</i>. <i>mansoni</i> eggs, females and males.

<p>(A) Gene expression profile of 4,364 significantly (P ≥ 95%) differentially expressed genes in eggs, females and males. The expression level for each gene (each horizontal line) is normalized among the three parasite forms by the Z-score method; high gene expression is shown in red, and low gene expression is shown in blue. (B) Enriched GO categories of genes most highly expressed in <i>S</i>. <i>mansoni</i> eggs, females or males. The parent-child union approach was applied, and a <i>p-value</i> ≤ 0.01 was considered significant (dark gray). Decreasing shades of gray indicate GO categories that are present but not significantly enriched (<i>p-value</i> > 0.01), and white indicates the absence of that enriched GO category in that parasite form.
