Figure 1. The number of genes differentially expressed between cercariae and 3 h or 5 day cultured S. mansoni schistosomula.

(A) The number of genes either up- or down- regulated >2 fold in 3 h or 5 day schistosomula relative to gene expression in cercariae. Numbers in the overlapping region of the Venn diagram indicate genes that were differentially expressed at 3 h and 5 days. (B) Scatter plot of individual gene signal intensity of 3 h and 5 day schistosomula, with a 2-fold cut off, demonstrating the change in gene expression between the two time points.
