Figure 2. Distribution of the number of α-tubulin copy among all the WGA schistosome samples tested.

Figure 2

Log10 distribution of the number of α-tubulin copy in 20 ng of total DNA, among the 60 East African (Tanzania) and the 37 West African (Senegal and Niger) S. mansoni samples, and the 65 East African (Zanzibar) and 55 West African (Niger) S. haematobium samples from FTA-preserved samples. S. mansoni and S. haematobium DNA varies in concentration by three to five orders of magnitude within WGA products. The 11 outliers, below the dotted line threshold, exhibited a very low number of α-tubulin copies (less than 100 copies in 20 ng of total DNA) and were removed from the next generation sequencing sample set.
