Figure 5: Comparison of putatively duplicated genes in three species of scale worms.

From: Adaptation and evolution of deep-sea scale worms (Annelida: Polynoidae): insights from transcriptome comparison with a shallow-water species

Figure 5

(a) Gene Ontology (GO) distribution of putatively duplicated genes in the three species. The triangles stand for groups only present in B. pettiboneae; the squares for groups only present in Lepidonotopodium sp.; the pentagons for groups present in both deep-sea species. (b) Significantly enriched biological process GO terms of putatively duplicated genes only present in both deep-sea species (highlighted in yellow). Boxes framed in red show terminal GO terms in both deep-sea species. Data in parentheses include the number of genes associated with the listed GO term in B. pettiboneae (first number) and Lepidonotopodium sp. (second number). A dash in parenthesis indicates absence of the gene. Arrows represent the connection between two enriched GO terms at different levels. Only selected significantly enriched GO branches in deep-sea species are shown to illustrate the interspecific differences with shallow-water species.
