Preferential expression of (a) transcripts and (b) peptides belonging to variant surface glycoprotein-like genes.

NB: For transcript abundance, details are provided for pairwise comparisons that resulted in significant differences (in some cases involving a single gene in two comparisons). Developmental stages are abbreviated with BSF (bloodstream form), EPI (epimastigote), MET (metacyclic). Differential expression is described by fold change (FC). q < 0.05 in all cases. Peptide count refers to the total number of unique peptides observed for a given protein. Note that peptides mapping to * could equally map to other, identical gene models: TvY486_0000330; TvY486_0028900; TvY486_0002800; TvY486_0003200; TvY486_0005340; TvY486_0005830; TvY486_0008280; TvY486_0031250; TvY486_0031440; TvY486_0039630; TvY486_0042400. Also peptides mapping to # could equally map to these other, identical gene models: TvY486_0009200; TvY486_0015630; TvY486_0016270; TvY486_0031530; TvY486_0031920; TvY486_0031980; TvY486_0042360 Preferential expression of (a) transcripts and (b) peptides belonging to variant surface glycoprotein-like genes.
