FIG 1 .
Categorization of the top 200 N. gonorrhoeae genes expressed during natural infection in men. Expression of gonococcal genes in 6 infected men was averaged, and the top 200 genes were categorized based on characteristics indicated for N. gonorrhoeae strain FA1090 available in NCBI. Categories are shown on the y axis, and the ratio of enrichment (% of genes of a given functional category in RNA-seq data set/% of genes assigned to that functional category in whole gonococcal genome) is shown on the x axis. For clarity, ribosomal protein, tRNA, and rRNA genes were removed. Asterisks indicate that enrichment was significant (P ≤ 0.05) by Fisher’s exact test.
