Classification of the wOo transcriptome. The wOo genome was categorized using a combination of subsystems from the SEED database, additional pathway descriptions from the Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes, and manual curation based on the National Center for Biotechnology Information Conserved Domain Database. The number of transcript reads per functional category is shown in each slice of the pie-chart and represents the mean (i.e., reads are normalized to the total number of genes per subsystem). Exploded slices show (in clockwise order from 12 o'clock) “cofactors, vitamins, prosthetic groups, pigments”; “nucleosides and nucleotides”; and “protein metabolism.”
