Fig. 5: Specific expansion and expression patterns of GSTs genes in the S. heraclei genome.

a Phylogenetic relationships, domain and motif between GSTs from different aphids. Highlight the gene names belonging to S. heraclei with distinct colors. The gene branches in S. heraclei that underwent species-specific expansion are highlighted in red. b GSTs gene distribution in the S. heraclei genome and IGV verification of SHE_evm.model.SH1.4558 and SHE_evm.model.SH1.4561 annotations and assembly errors. The upper track represents transcriptome reads from sexual female aphids, while the lower track represents transcriptome reads from male aphids. c Expression differences of GSTs genes between sexual females and males.
