Figure 3.
Exported protein families in Babesia canis. (A) In silico predicted exported protein families. Bar colours indicate the predicted route of secretion and/or type of membrane anchoring. cSP: canonical signal peptide; aSP: alternative (non-classical) secretory pathway; TM: transmembrane domain; GPI: predicted glycophosphatidylinositol anchor. (B) Transcript abundances of exported proteins. Each dot corresponds to the transcript abundance (FPKM) for each gene in the family during acute crisis in a splenectomised dog. Red bars indicate the median FPKM values in the presented protein family. FPKM: Fragments Per Kilobase of exon model per Million mapped reads.
