Fig 3. Intragenic PQS distribution within the S. mansoni genome.

A) The distribution of intragenic PQS per individual chromosomes. For each chromosome, intragenic PQS were categorised into those found within introns, exons, 5´- and 3´- UTRs. The largest number of PQS were found on chromosome ZW and the fewest on chromosome 7, with most PQS aligned to intronic features and fewest PQS found within exons. B) Intragenic PQS per Mb were calculated for each chromosomal feature and compared to the average intragenic PQS per Mb for all features (dotted horizontal line = baseline). Both 5´- and 3´- UTR categories had greater PQS per Mb than the calculated baseline (0.56). Multiple comparisons found 3´- UTRs were enriched with more PQS/mb compared to other features. C) Phenogram detailing localisation of intragenic PQS in each chromosome. Coloured circles denote PQS location according to intragenic feature.
