Figure 2. Global relative similarity between C. sinensis and other species analyzed at the whole transcriptome scale.

. Each C. sinensis contigs and singlets were searched against the whole transcriptome using TBLASTX score (a cut-off of ≥50). Similarity comparison of parasitic organisms with a free-living flatworm (A) or with free-living nematode (B). Square tiles indicate genes, with the squares colored by their highest TBLASTX score to each of the databases: red ≥300; yellow ≥200; green ≥150, blue ≥100 and purple <100.
