Conservation of synteny, sequence homology, and stage/sex-specific expression of tsetse milk proteins between species. Overview of the conservation of tsetse milk protein genes and their expression patterns in males and non-lactating and lactating females. a Syntenic analysis of gene structure/conservation in the mgp2-10 genetic locus across Glossina species. b Phylogenetic analysis of orthologs from the mgp2-10 gene family. c Combined sex- and stage-specific RNA-seq analysis of relative gene expression of the 12 milk protein gene orthologs in males and non-lactating and lactating females of 5 Glossina species. d Visualization of fold change in individual milk protein gene orthologs across 5 species between lactating and non-lactating female flies. Gene sequence substitution rates are listed for each set of orthologous sequences. e Comparative enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes between non-lactating and lactating female flies
