Figure 4.

Orthologous groups of An. stephensi 79 germline-specific genes in Culicidae. Venn diagram shows orthologous groups identified for 79 An. stephensi germline-specific genes in three mosquito species of three genera Aedes (Ae.), Culex (C.), and Anopheles (An.). Twenty-one species in three genera of Culicidae were examined for orthologs, one species each for Aedes and Culex, and 19 species for Anopheles. For simplicity, three species other than An. stephensi are shown to sample both the same genera (Anopheles) and divergent genera. Three genes show as unique in An. stephensi because they are identified as being part of orthologous groups only in anopheline species other than An. gambiae.
