Number of Candidate W-Derived Transcripts, and the Genomic Location of Their Closest Schistosoma mansoni Homologs.

	Number of Candidates	Map to S. mansoni CDS (unique genes)	W Genes	ZW Genes	Other
S. mansoni original W-candidates	86	37 (28)	24 (15)	9 (9)	4 (4)
S. mansoni combined W-candidates, including annotated genes	90	42 (42)	30 (30)	8 (8)	4 (4)
S. mansoni combined set mapped to the [CDS without annotated W-linked genes]	90	40 (39)	NA	34 (33)	6(6)
S. japonicum W-candidates	94	48 (37)	0 (0)	48 (37)	0 (0)

Note.—“Unique genes,” in brackets, refers to the number of S. mansoni annotated genes to which a given set of candidates is mapping (several candidates can map to the same annotated gene). “ZW genes” refers to the ZW linkage group, and can correspond to either Z-specific genes or pseudoautosomal genes. The sets of ZW homologs that were used in downstream analyses are in italics.
