VSG-ES transcriptomes reveal unexpected features. a Base-pair resolution plots of six silent VSG-ESs containing ESAG10 (blue boxes). Read counts were normalised using RPM. Beneath each panel is a schematic map for each locus. Boxes, coding sequences; arrowsheads, Pol-I promoters. Red lines, bloodstream-form; blue lines, insect-stage. b Box plot showing fold-change (log scale) from bloodstream to insect stage, of active and silent ESAGs grouped by type and position in VSG-ESs according to [22]. c Base-pair resolution plots of all five metacyclic-specific VSG-ESs. Red lines, bloodstream-form; blue lines, insect-stage. d Box plot showing fold-change (log scale) from bloodstream to insect stage, of bloodstream (bVSG) and metacyclic (mVSG) VSGs
