Stage-specific differential gene expression in Leishmania infantum: from the foregut of Phlebotomus perniciosus to the human phagocyte

Table 1 Overview of the Pro-Pper/A differential gene expression profiles

Annotation status	Frequency of differentially regulated genes in Pro-Pper/A
Annotation status	Up-regulated	Down-regulated
Genes of known function	46	19
Conserved hypothetical protein	48	25
Hypothetical protein	4	1
Clones overlapping with UTRs or less than 5% of an ORF (Additional file 2: Table S2)	86	48
Total (n = 277)	184	93

Absolute frequencies of genes encoding for proteins of known function and hypothetical proteins are provided. The frequencies of up-regulated and down-regulated genes have been contrasted with the binomial test.
