5′Nuc/apyrase salivary gene family organization and sequence features across Glossina species. a Chromosomal organization of the 5′Nuc/apyrase family orthologs on genome scaffolds from the six Glossina species. The brown gene annotations represent 5′Nuc gene orthologs; purple gene annotations represent sgp3 gene orthologs and the blue gene annotations an apyrase-like encoding gene. The broken rectangular bars on the G. brevipalpis scaffold indicate that the sequence could not be determined due to poor sequence/assembly quality. b Schematic representation of sgp3 gene structure in tsetse species. The K(.) denotes a repetition of a lysine (K) and another amino acid (glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, serine, asparagine or arginine). The green oval represents a repetitive motif found in Morsitans sub-genus; the red oval represents a repetitive motif found in Palpalis group. The dashed line indicates a partial motif present. For each of the two motifs the consensus sequence is shown in the right by a Logo sequence. The poor sequence/assembly quality of the G. brevipalpis scaffold prevented inclusion of this orthology in the analysis
