Figure 6. Inventory of myogenic components in Mnemiopsis leidyi.

Figure 6

Components present in the M. leidyi genome are in blue and names are underlined. Absent components are in red. (A) The main structural components of smooth muscle are present in the M. leidyi genome. All structural components are present except for Troponin (in red). (B) The majority of signaling molecules and transcription factors involved in specifying and differentiating the mesoderm of bilaterian animals are absent from the genome of M. leidyi. The asterisks next to Snail and GATA indicate that these components have been identified in the transcriptomes of other ctenophores.
