Figure 5From: De novo assembly and characterization of a maternal and developmental transcriptome for the emerging model crustacean Parhyale hawaiensisPutative gene family expansion assessed with the P. hawaiensis transcriptome. Gene families that were reported as expanded in the D. pulex genome [2] were examined for signatures of expansion in P. hawaiensis using the de novo transcriptome (see Methods). Gene families that appear particularly expanded in both crustaceans include chitinase (orange; KEGG EC number 3.2.1.14), adenosinetriphosphatase (red; KEGG EC number 3.6.1.3), 4-galactosyl-N-acetylglucosaminide 3-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase (green; KEGG EC number 2.4.1.152) and DNA-directed RNA polymerase (blue; KEGG EC number 2.7.7.6).Back to article page
