Sequencing of intestinal transcriptomes and comparison within C. elegans. a Correlation between estimated expression values in the intestinal transcriptome as well as the whole worm transcriptome in C. elegans. b Correlation between estimated expression values in the intestinal transcriptome as well as the whole worm transcriptome in P. pacificus. c Percentage of shared genes across five different C. elegans studies. For identified gene set (rows), we tested what percentage of genes was also found to be intestine-enriched for all other studies (columns), e.g. 42 % of the 724 genes identified in our study were also identified by Spencer et al. [25]. d Agreement in enriched Gene Ontology terms across different C. elegans studies
