From: Draft genome sequence of the Daphnia pathogen Octosporea bayeri: insights into the gene content of a large microsporidian genome and a model for host-parasite interactions

Figure 4

Differences in gene length among microsporidia and their fungal relatives. (a) Comparison of the length (in amino acids) of O. bayeri proteins to orthologs from Enc. cuniculi, Ent. bieneusi, S. cerevisiae, U. maydis, B. dendrobatidis and R. oryzae. In general, O. bayeri proteins are longer than microsporidian orthologues, but shorter than fungal orthologues. Vertical arrows indicate the average reduction or increase in protein size compared to O. bayeri. (b) Specific examples of length variation between orthologs from O. bayeri, Enc. cuniculi, Ent. bieneusi and S. cerevisiae.
