Immune response effectors identified using the Reactome pathways analysis tool [29,30].

<p>Unique transcripts present in the RNA-Seq assembly were assigned to A) Adaptive immune, B) Innate immune, and C) Cytokine signaling pathways. Blue portion of bar indicates the rice rat genes per pathway category in the Reactome database; green bar indicates the total number of genes per Reactome category not represented in our dataset.
