Additional file 9: of Comparative analyses of glycerotoxin expression unveil a novel structural organization of the bloodworm venom system

Comparative GLTx expression analyses carried out on transcriptome libraries of three different tissue types (putative venom glands (pvg), pharyngeal lobes, and posterior body wall) originating from four pooled G. tridactyla specimens. Filtered Illumina reads were mapped against three GLTx full-length transcripts (SR23, contig 5772, contig 4317, and contig 4318) and three full-length GLTx clones (Cons_clone_5A, 6A, and 7). Note the remarkably higher number of matched reads in the pharyngeal lobes in comparison to the putative venom glands and body tissue. (XLSX 11 kb)
