Transcriptome-based Gene Ontology categories showing depletion in myxozoans compared with other cnidarians
| Category | Myxozoa, %* | Cnidaria, %† |
| Cell differentiation | 548/0.0234 | 1763/0.0302 |
| Development | 1052/0.0450 | 3892/0.0667 |
| Morphogenesis | 456/0.0195 | 1693/0.0290 |
| Receptor activity | 46/0.00197 | 310/0.00531 |

Myxozoan total number = 23,388. Cnidarian total number = 53,354. All categories had a P value ≤0.0001.
*
Myxozoa = K. iwatai + M. cerebralis.
†
Cnidaria = H. magnipillata + N. vectensis + P. hydriforme.
