‡S list.
§ The Ag genes with an ortholog in the Dm hemocyte set (i.e., hemocyte transcriptomes from ref. 4) numbered 369. The Ag genes with an ortholog in the Aa hemocyte set (i.e., hemocyte transcriptomes from ref. 9) numbered 319.
¶Numbers in parentheses represent the number of those An. gambiae orthologs that are present in the Anopheles Affymetrix array.
